ABSTRACT:
A galvanic electrode oxygen sensor which is useful in measuring transcutaneous oxygen pressure (pO.sub.2) contains a cathode in the form of a porous film of a metal below hydrogen in the Electromotive Series, an anode of a metal above hydrogen in the Electromotive Series, an electrolyte and an oxygen-permeable membrane in contact with the cathode and adapted to contact the skin of a patient. The sensor may also contain temperature measuring device or structure for compensating for temperature variations.
