Abstract
Medical cutting devices with static components having temperature sensors and related methods are disclosed. According to an aspect, a cutting device includes a blade working body being configured for operable connection to a source of movement. The cutting device also includes a static component being configured for operable connection to the source of movement. Further, the cutting device includes one or more temperature sensors attached to the static components and configure to detect a temperature level of a work space near the blade working body.

1-20. (canceled)
A cutting device comprising:
- a drill portion configured to be rotated within a space by operable connection to a source of movement;
- a static component configured to be operably connected to the source of movement, wherein the static component includes a first portion and a second portion that extends alongside of the drill portion and that defines the space;
- and
- at least one first temperature sensor and at least one second temperature sensor attached to the first portion and the second portion, respectively, of the static component on sides of the drill portion, wherein the first and second temperature sensors are configured to detect a temperature level of a work space near the working body for monitoring a temperature of an object.
The cutting device of claim 29, wherein the drill portion and the static component are substantially within the same axis.
