MINIMIZING MECHANICAL TRAUMA DUE TO IMPLANTATION OF A MEDICAL DEVICE |
摘要 |
A medical implant component including a fiber Bragg grating sensor is described. The sensor may be located so as to be at a leading end of the implant when the implant is being inserted, allowing feedback to be provided to a surgeon of the force being applied to the leading end of the implant during implantation. An interrogator for a sensor fiber Bragg grating is also described. The interrogator includes a matched fiber Bragg grating to the sensor fiber Bragg grating, which passes a proportion of the return light signal from the sensor fiber Bragg grating, the intensity of which can be related to the strain/force applied to the sensor Bragg grating.
