Abstract
A medico-technical measuring device for measuring a property of a fluid, such as pressure for pressure measurement, includes a line extending along a central longitudinal axis to guide a fluid, such as blood, within a longitudinal cavity delimited by a wall. A sensor unit has a sensor and measures a property of the fluid guided in the longitudinal cavity. The line is provided with a radial cavity inserted in the wall in a radial direction, in which the sensor unit is at least partially arranged, and which is integrated in the wall such that the sensor is in communication with the fluid. In this way, a measuring device can be provided that allows simple handling—in particular, in combination with a comparatively precise measurement—especially, pressure measurement. The measuring device may be produced according to a method and the measuring device may be used in a measuring method.
