Dear netters
I am interested in measuring pressure in cadaveric intervertebral discs in an
effort to better understand disc pressure distribution. I am planning on
inserting a miniaturized strain gauge pressure sensor through a needle of no
more than 1 to 2 mm diameter. I have looked around in the catalogues that I
have but did not find any strain gauges small enough to fit through the
needle. Any advice or help would be most welcomed.
As is the custom, I will post a summary of all responses received.
