A body compatible fiber optic sensor probe is provided. The probe includes at least one optical fiber (3, 4) and the fiber or fibers include at least one sensing region (7, 7') adapted and arranged such that the probe has simultaneously measurable respective optical properties that are responsible to respective different parameters within the body, such properties being dependent upon mechanical strain established in the fiber or fibers in response to said parameters. Such a probe is suitable for invasive medical use. |
