1. A pressure sensor module for use in a slot of a catheter, said pressure sensor module being adapted for introduction into a living body, and said pressure sensor module comprising:

  • a pressure sensor operable to provide a signal representative of pressure within said living body, said pressure sensor having a sensing side and a pressure reference side;

    at least one signal transmission media coupled to said sensor for transmitting the signal representative of pressure within said living body;

    a convex-shaped carrier having a slot formed to expose the sensing side of said sensor, said convex-shaped carrier adapted for receiving said sensor such that said sensing side of said sensor is adjacent the slot; and

    bonding material for mounting said sensor to said carrier.
