1. A deep tissue temperature probe with a support assembly comprising:
- a two-sided substrate;
a plurality of sections defined in the substrate, in which each section is joined to at least one adjacent section at a common peripheral location;
two thermal sensors, each supported on a respective one of two adjacent sections;
the two adjacent sections folded together at a common peripheral location joining the two sections; and
,a thermal resistor disposed between the two thermal sensors.

Abstract
A disposable, zero-heat-flux, deep tissue temperature probe is constructed using a support assembly with multiple sections folded together or separated into strata during assembly of the probe. The sections support elements of the probe, including thermal sensors and a thermal resistor between the thermal sensors. Optionally, one of the sections supports a heater.
