Abstract
A force sensor clip for the measurement of forces with orthopedic instruments is presented. The clip can be attached to different orthopedic instruments and be removed after use for sterilization. It consists of an elastically deformable metal body made from titanium alloy and a strain gauge foil. Four strain gauges in a Wheatstone bridge configuration were fabricated on a single polyimide foil and assembled to the clip. In a test setup the sensor shows a linear response with respect to the bending of the clip with good sensitivity.
