Blood pressure transducers are the devices used to measure arterial and venous blood pressure. It is imperative for blood pressure monitor helps in converting one form of energy into another and provide biological parameters for detection. Blood pressure transducers are small and lightweight devices consisting of a thin flexible metal diaphragm connected to strain gauge through inductive bridge. The pressure transducers are connected to an electrical convertor that converts blood pressure into analog electrical signal and helps in the detection of consistent and accurate blood pressure through amplifier. Blood pressure transducers are slotted base and available with integral Velcro strap helps in easy mounting. In addition, transducers with sensor element and replacement sensors are now available without cable which provides an economical solution for blood pressure detecting application.
Blood pressure transducers is witnessing significant growth owing to increase in the prevalence of low/high blood pressure among aging population, sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activities and hypertension. Also, it has been observed that above 55 year of age have are prone to high blood pressure owing to food intake containing high cholesterol, alcohol and tobacco consumption are some of the other key factors that expected to propel the growth of blood pressure transducers market in near future. However, high cost associated with technological development, accuracy of device and lack of trained professionals would restraints the blood pressure transducers market.
