Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for quantifying applied pressure by a device against an area of tissue. In particular, the present technology is related to medical devices including an optical element with a fiber Bragg grating, systems including the medical devices, and methods of quantifying applied pressure by the medical device. In one embodiment, a medical device comprises an elongate body including a distal portion and a proximal portion opposite the distal portion, and an optical element located at the distal portion of the elongate body. In one embodiment, the optical element include an optical fiber with a fiber Bragg grating. In one embodiment, the medical device is part of a medical system comprising a control unit in communication with the medical device, the control unit including an optical interrogator in communication with the optical element and processing circuitry configured to receive data from the optical interrogator.
