Apparatus and system for a disposable torque limiting tip wrench

A wrench assembly for attachment and removal of a threaded tip to a handpiece of a surgical system, the wrench assembly comprising:

• a shell comprising a central portion having a first diameter and an extension portion that extends axially away from the central portion and having a second diameter, the central portion and extension portion defining a central bore, wherein the central portion includes a pair of oppositely disposed wings extending outwardly from an axis of the central bore, the pair of oppositely disposed wings configured to provide leverage to facilitate rotation of the wrench assembly;
• and
• a core disposed within the central bore of the shell and adapted to receive and engage a mating surface of the threaded tip for attachment and removal of the threaded tip with corresponding threads of the handpiece, the core comprising:
• an outer portion fixedly coupled to the central bore of the shell;
• and
• an inner portion having an inner bore including a tip receiving surface configured to receive and engage the mating surface of the threaded tip, wherein the inner portion is removably coupled to an inner surface of the outer portion by a separation mechanism configured to facilitate separation of the inner portion from the outer portion at a predetermined torque when rotating the wrench assembly to attach the threaded tip to the handpiece.
