Discover how our advanced sensor solutions can elevate your medical devices and empower your healthcare initiatives.
Applications
Cardiovascular FFR1
Millar’s proven pressure sensing technology can be integrated into a FFR pressure wire or catheter design to enable continuous, high-fidelity measurements within a coronary artery for treatment guidance on intermediate lesions and multi-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD).
Left and Right Heart Applications2
High-fidelity, integrated pressure sensing devices help monitor clinical conditions like pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease, mechanical circulatory support, peripheral vascular, left ventricle pressure, valvular disorders and more.
Respiratory Support and Therapy3
Continuous pressure monitoring in controlled or assisted respiration support devices is critical to reducing complications. The addition of pressure sensors directly to respiratory devices can also support improved feedback mechanisms for intubated patients.
Gastroenterology4
Monitoring pH levels in Gastroenterology plays a critical role in diagnosing and managing various gastrointestinal disorders, such as acid reflux, GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), and Barrett's esophagus. pH monitoring helps clinicians assess the acidity levels in the esophagus and stomach, providing valuable insights into patients' digestive health.
Compartment Syndrome5
Continuous pressure and/or pH monitoring for compartment syndrome is critical in understanding pressure changes over time. MEMS pressure and pH sensing technologies provide stability to deliver reliable, accurate measurements even during patient movement.
OEM Solutions Markets
Cardiovascular
Cardiovascular pressure measurements, such as left ventricular pressure, right ventricular pressure, and valve gradients, provide in-depth data to assess heart failure conditions. Millar's absolute pressure sensor design fits within a 2F (.024") encasement and measures pressures from 500 to 1000 mmHg (67 to 133 kPa). Our integrated high-fidelity sensors can reduce sources of error typical of fluid-filled right heart pressure measurements and provide feedback data in various circulatory assist devices.
Critical And Neurocritical Care
Pressure data acquired during invasive monitoring for critical care patients can help physicians make life-saving decisions. For neurocritical care patients, increased pressure in the brain caused by traumatic head injuries can cause permanent brain damage if not monitored and immediately treated. Millar's pressure sensors are routinely used to accurately monitor pressures within the fluid surrounding the brain after head injuries.
Oncology
Continuous pressure monitoring in controlled or assisted respiration support devices is critical to reducing complications such as skin erythema, skin breakdown, and skin pressure ulcers. The addition of pressure sensors directly to respiratory devices can also support improved feedback mechanisms for intubated patients and or a better understanding of pressure measurements during nasal high flow oxygen therapy.
Respiratory
Millar catheters have a proven record of providing highly accurate airway and esophageal pressure data in clinical research applications. Our medical pressure sensors are available for OEM respiratory device integration to provide clinicians with reliable pressure data in intensive care units or therapeutic applications. The Millar sensor sensitivity of 3.68 μV/V/cmH2O (nominal) enables high accuracy in low-pressure environments, potentially increasing therapy success and avoiding further complications for ventilated patients.
Orthopedic
Millar's integrated sensor stability delivers reliable, accurate measurements even during patient movement. This opens up possibilities for continuous monitoring applications that involve exercise or other movement. Our integrated pressure sensing technology can also monitor the onset of acute compartment syndrome following a traumatic injury. Combining the sensor with Millar's Wireless Pressure Platform can redefine monitoring during medical evacuation and transport, preventing long-term loss of limb.
Wound Care
pH monitoring plays a crucial role in wound management by assessing the acidity or alkalinity of the wound environment. Our pH sensor solutions enable precise pH measurements, facilitating optimal wound healing and management strategies.
Urology
Our pH sensor technology can be utilized in urological applications for monitoring urinary pH levels, assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and other urological disorders.
