MUMBAI, India, Aug. 10 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647090124 A) filed by Gyrus Acmi, Inc. Dba Olympus Surgical Technologies on July 24, 2026, for Endoscopic Lithotripsy System With Optical Temperature Measurement.
Inventors include Shelton, Kurt G.; Bukesov, Sergey A.; and Batchelor, Kester Julian.
The application for the patent was published on July 31, 2026, under issue no. 31/2026.
Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring and controlling surgical site temperature based on fluid near-infra red (NIR) light absorption spectra at the surgical site are disclosed. An exemplary system comprises an endoscopic surgical device operably coupled to an energy source for providing energy to an anatomical target at a fluid surgical site, a lighting system including an infrared light source to emit an NIR light to the anatomical target, and a controller circuit to determine fluid NIR light absorption spectra and estimate a fluid temperature using the NIR light absorption spectra. Based on the estimated fluid temperature, the controller circuit can adjust an operating parameter of the endoscopic surgical system to achieve or maintain a desired temperature at the fluid surgical environment during the procedure.
