Abstract
Implantable pressure sensors and methods for making and using the same. A feature of of at least some of the subject pressure sensors is that they are low-drift sensors. Additional features of representable pressure sensors include the presence of a compliant member mounted on a substrate in a manner such that the compliant member has first and second opposing exposed surfaces and is positioned at least proximal to the said pressure sensor's neutral plane. The subject pressure sensors find use in a variety of applications.
