Embodiment Construction
[0034] FIGS. 1 and 1a illustrate one form of probe constructed in accordance with the present invention particularly for use in the method and apparatus of the above-cited PCT Application for monitoring the peripheral arterial tone of a patient's body part (e.g., digit) in order to indicate, in a non-invasive manner, the physiological state or medical condition of the patient. As briefly described above, and as more fully described in the above-cited PCT Application, such a probe includes pressurizing means for applying a static pressure field substantially uniformly around the distal end of the patient's digit, including its terminal-most extremity (extreme distal tip), and a sensor for sensing changes in the distal end of the patient's digit related to changes in volume thereof due to changes in instantaneous blood volume related to arterial blood volume therein. The probe illustrated in FIG. 1, however, is of a simplified construction as compared to the probes illustrated in the ...
