Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a jaw assembly for detecting attributes of tissue with optical technology.SOLUTION: A jaw assembly 40 comprises first and second jaw members 42, 44 moveable relative to one another between an open configuration and a clamped configuration, the first and second jaw members configured to clamp tissue between the first and second jaw members in the clamped configuration. The first jaw member includes: a surface opposing a surface of the second jaw member; an opening 43, 45 defined in the surface of the first jaw member; a light source 52a configured to emit light from the opening; and a light detector 54a, 54b disposed within the opening. The jaw assembly also comprises a processor 58 operatively associated with the light detector. 【課題】光学的技術を用いて組織の属性を検出する顎アセンブリを提供する。【解決手段】顎アセンブリ４０は、第１および第２の顎部材４２、４４であって、第１および第２の顎部材は、開いた構成と締め付けられた構成との間を互いに対して移動可能であり、第１および第２の顎部材は、締め付けられた構成において、第１の顎部材と第２の顎部材との間の組織を締め付けるように構成され、第１の顎部材は、第２の顎部材の表面に対向している表面と、第１の顎部材の表面において規定される開口部４３、４５と、開口部から光を放つように構成されている光源５２ａと、開口部内に配置されている光検出器５４ａ、５４ｂとを含む、第１および第２の顎部材と、光検出器と動作可能に関連付けられているプロセッサー５８とを含む。【選択図】図４
