Zusammenfassung:A medical device can include an elongate shaft extending along a shaft longitudinal axis, which can include a shaft proximal end and a shaft distal end. A force sensor can be disposed on the shaft distal end and can include a sensor proximal end and a sensor distal end. A tip can be disposed on the sensor distal end. A tubular moisture barrier can define a barrier lumen, wherein the tubular moisture barrier extends along the shaft longitudinal axis between the shaft distal end and the tip, and wherein the force sensor is disposed within the barrier lumen.
