摘要：
In a method for printing a strain gauge on an instrument for force measurement, a deposition mask is applied to a surface of an instrument. With the deposition mask on the surface of the instrument, a strain gauge material is deposited on at least one portion of the surface exposed by aperture(s) in the deposition mask. Additionally, electrically conductive material is deposited along pathways that connect with the deposited strain gauge material. In one embodiment, the strain gauge is printed on surgical forceps.
