With an interest in monitoring the patency of stents that are used to treat strictures in the bile duct, this paper reports the investigation of a wireless sensing system to interrogate a microsensor integrated into the stent. The microsensor is comprised of a 28-μm-thick magnetoelastic foil with 8.25-mm length and 1-mm width.

Wireless magnetoelastic sensors offer significant potential for measuring the accumulation of biomass within stents - enabling early detection prior to stent occlusion - but the encapsulation of these sensors remains a critical challenge. The encapsulation must allow the sensors to navigate the curvature and accommodate the contact forces imparted during and after the implantation procedure, while also leaving the sensor open to mechanical interaction with the biomass during the extended period of deployment. This paper is focused on the encapsulation of ribbon-like magnetoelastic sensors (12.
