Title:
DYNAMIC ORTHOSCOPIC SENSING
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017136446
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dynamic sensing method and apparatus.SOLUTION: A dynamic sensing method and apparatus employs microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical (NEMS) surgical sensors for gathering and reporting surgical parameters pertaining to a drive mechanism of a surgical device, such as speed, rotation, torque and other characteristics of the surgical device. The surgical device employs or affixes the surgical sensor on or about a surgical device for detecting electromechanical characteristics during a surgical procedure. The surgical procedure disposes a medical device in a surgical field, which is defined by the surgical procedure, in response to a drive mechanism of a shaver or other endoscopic instrument inserted in the surgical field.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
