| Résumé : | The high deformability of soft organs poses significant challenges for implantable sensors, yet continuous monitoring of their strain and flexure would benefit many medical applications. We present a silicone-encapsulated optical fibre sensor based on a $200 mu mathrmm$ diameter, low-numerical-aperture plastic optical fibre, shaped into a coil topology. The sensor measures deformation via optical light attenuation and conforms to soft tissue motion. Three coil configurations were characterised under controlled strain and flexure. The sensors showed maximum gauge factors of 0.383 (flexure) and 0.068 (elongation), with high linearity ($R^2 |
