Patent number: 8376937Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring the characteristics of tissue adjacent a surgical site and communicating that information to a health care provider includes a retractor, a sensor, and a processing system. The sensor is disposed on the retractor and is configured to measure a parameter indicative of at least one characteristic of the tissue adjacent the first or the second blade. The processing system is in communication with the sensor and configured and arranged to receive information from the sensor indicative of the measured parameter. It includes a threshold stored therein indicative of excessive trauma to the tissue and it is configured in a manner such that it compares the received information to the stored threshold and communicates information to the health care provider regarding the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2010Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Warsaw Orhtopedic, Inc.Inventors: Jusong Xia, Joseph Jude Saladino, Jeff R.
