ABSTRACT:
This invention is an implantable, extractable probe for biological sensors which has a stable attachment to different sizes of vessels or organs and is safety and easily removed from the patient. The body of the probe is made up of a biocompatible flexible material. The probe encircles the vessel or organ to be monitored by suture attachment of the probe body to itself. A release wire within the probe body holds the suture in place until time for the removal of the probe from the body. The probe is then extracted without a surgical procedure.
