SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR POST-OPERATIVE ANASTOMOTIC LEAK DETECTION

A tissue monitoring system includes a sensor, a sensor reader, and at least one computing device. The sensor is releasably coupled to a staple by a tether and is configured to measure a physiological parameter of tissue and convert the measurement into a signal. The sensor reader is configured to re...

Zusammenfassung:A tissue monitoring system includes a sensor, a sensor reader, and at least one computing device. The sensor is releasably coupled to a staple by a tether and is configured to measure a physiological parameter of tissue and convert the measurement into a signal. The sensor reader is configured to receive the signal from the sensor and the at least one computing device is configured to receive the signal from the sensor reader and process the signal into physiological data. The sensor is implanted in tissue by the staple.
