<p>A depth sensor (10) is disclosed for sensing the position of a surgical device within a vessel wall during a surgical procedure. The depth sensor includes a housing (210), sensing assembly (120) for sensing acoustic wave information generated during the surgical procedure, a processing assembly (140) for processing the acoustic wave information received from the sensing assembly (120), and a control assembly (130) that receives data from the processing assembly (140) thereby enabling operational control of the penetration device (1).</p> |
