Publication number: 20260053561Abstract: A system is disclosed including an energy delivery device and a controller. The energy delivery device includes a cannula, an antenna extending from the cannula and operable to deliver energy to tissue of the patient, and an optical sensor including Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs). The cannula and the antenna are insertable through skin of a patient to an insertion depth. The controller is in communication with the optical sensor and operable to receive temperature measurements from the optical sensor and determine the insertion depth based on the received temperature measurements.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2024Publication date: February 26, 2026Applicant: Neuwave Medical, Inc.Inventors: Emily FORAN, Todd KIEFER, Scott JOHNSON, Matthew THIEL, Robert KNOWLTON
