ABSTRACT:
A device for mounting a tonometry sensor upon a patient's wrist includes a base portion that is specifically adapted to generally conform to the patient's wrist while providing a stable placement of the tonometry sensor relative to a preselected artery. A sensor housing is movably mounted upon the base portion and configured such that the mounting device has an essentially equal thickness at each end of the device. A strap member is provided for releasably securing the mounting device to a patient's wrist. The mounting device facilitates more accurate, non-invasive blood pressure measurement by providing a stable placement of the tonometry sensor relative to the tissue overlying a preselected artery at a measurement location and, further, limits undesirable movement by the patient to thereby reduce undesirable error in the blood pressure measurement.
