Optical sensors for intraoperative procedures
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An intra-operative sensor device for detecting tissue or body parameters comprising:
- at least one light emitting source;
at least one photo-detector, wherein an optical isolator ring is placed around either the at least one light emitting source or the at least one photo-detector; and
an inflatable sleeve including the at least one light emitting source and the at least one photo-detector mounted thereon, the inflatable sleeve transitionable between a furled state and an unfurled state.

Abstract
An intra-operative sensor device for detecting tissue or body parameters includes one or more light emitting sources and one or more photo-detectors. An optical isolator ring may be placed around either the one or more light emitting sources or around the one or more photo-detectors. The intra-operative sensor device may be a stand alone device or may be operatively coupled into a surgical instrument, such as a laparoscopic device.
