“…In particular, FBGs have been developed and integrated into robotics [13], endoscope [14] and needle [15,16] for shape detection. These optical fiber-based needles, being inherently immune from interference induced by surrounding electromagnetic fields, are particularly useful in the applications involving magnetic resonance imaging systems [17][18][19][20].…”

Nowadays, epidural space identification is made by using subjective and manual techniques characterized by failure rates up to 7%. In this work, we propose a fiber optic sensor technology based needle guidance system, that is directly inspired by the most common technique currently used for epidurals; through real-time strain measurements, the fiber Bragg grating integrated inside the needle lumen is able to effectively perceive the typical force drop occurring when the needle enters the epidural space. An in vivo swine study demonstrates the validity of our approach, paving the way for the development of lab-in-aneedle systems.

“…Solutions for tissue-tool tip force sensing have been proposed in the form of needle equipped with FBGs. In [142], an 18 Gauge needle stylet was equipped with three optical fiber embedding four FBGs each. The needle was mechanically connected to a device with a pen-like knob grasped by the users, and information of tool-tissue contact was rendered via a haptic display that uses ultrasonic motors to convey directional cues to users.…”

In the last decades, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have become increasingly attractive to medical applications due to their unique properties such as small size, biocompatibility, immunity to electromagnetic interferences, high sensitivity and multiplexing capability. FBGs have been employed in the development of surgical tools, assistive devices, wearables, and biosensors, showing great potentialities for medical uses. This paper reviews the FBG-based measuring systems, their principle of work, and their applications in medicine and healthcare. Particular attention is given to sensing solutions for biomechanics, minimally invasive surgery, physiological monitoring, and medical biosensing. Strengths, weaknesses, open challenges, and future trends are also discussed to highlight how FBGs can meet the demands of nextgeneration medical devices and healthcare system. INDEX TERMS biomechanics, biosensing, fiber Bragg grating sensors, minimally invasive surgery, physiological monitoring.
