How Autoclavable Brushless DC Motors Can Simplify Surgical Instrument Design

Today, powered surgical hand tools are used in almost all surgical specialties: ENT, Orthopedics, Neurology, Eye, and Plastics. Initially pneumatic powered, surgical tools have now migrated to electric energy. Electric instruments offer greater performances than pneumatic ones and allow better power control, lower noise level, and improved portability. They only require a simple electrical outlet or small battery, whereas pneumatic tools need complex, bulky, and high-maintenance air supply systems.
