Systems and method for sensing a tissue property with a surgical device are disclosed. The surgical device may include a handle, an outer shaft coupled to the handle, an inner shaft slidably coupled to the outer shaft, and a sensing assembly coupled to a distal portion of the outer shaft. The sensing assembly may include a shuttle having an anvil and a sensor disposed on the anvil, a compression housing coupled to the distal portion of the outer shaft, an expansion spring disposed between the shuttle and the compression housing, and a release coupled to the shuttle and biased to engage a fluid conduit. The compression housing may be located proximal to the anvil. The release may be configured to fix the position of the shuttle relative to the outer shaft.
