Claim Text:
1. A sensing device comprising: a sheath having a longitudinal axis, a proximal end, a distal end, and an outer wall defining an inner lumen extending substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis; a flow tube disposed at least partially within the sheath and having a flow tube wall; an integration component attached to the sheath and having an attachment portion configured to interface with the sheath to maintain a fluid seal, the sheath having a space therein to allow a static column of liquid between the sheath and the flow tube wall to reside adjacent the integration component; a thermal sensing device adjacent the outer wall of the sheath and terminating distally adjacent the distal end of the sheath, the thermal sensing device adapted to measure and relay the temperature of fluid in or adjacent a surgical site; and a pressure sensing device located adjacent the integration component and configured to measure and relay information based on the pressure of the static column of liquid to be used to calculate and display the pressure at the surgical site.
