  • Publication number: 20260110857
    Abstract: An opto-electronic assembly includes a substrate, an optical emitter coupled to the substrate, an optical detector coupled to the substrate, an optical seal at least partially surrounding the optical emitter and/or the optical detector and arranged to confine light emitted by the optical emitter. An optical fill material can be at least partially arranged within the optical seal.

  • Publication number: 20250387011
    Abstract: Medical devices and systems having a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) assembly are described herein. The medical device may include a shaft extending to a distal end and a pressure sensor assembly incorporated into the shaft. The pressure sensor assembly may include a housing, a MEMS chip, and a material. The housing may define a chamber and include a first body coupled to a second body, e.g., the first body defining at least one opening in fluid communication with the chamber. The MEMS chip may include a diaphragm. The material may at least partially cover the diaphragm and have an elasticity or viscosity that permits transfer of force therethrough. The pressure sensor assembly may be configured to measure pressure external to the medical device.

  • Publication number: 20250352278
    Abstract: A medical assembly may comprise: a substrate configured to be disposed in a body at a distal tip of a medical device; and a position sensing system, including a magnetic field sensor mounted to the substrate. The magnetic field sensor may be configured to provide a signal that indicates a position or orientation of the distal tip of the medical device. The medical assembly may further comprise at least one camera mounted to the substrate; and at least one lighting element mounted to the substrate.
