Claims15
A power operated surgical tool comprising:
- an external housing adapted to enclose and support various internal components;
- a motor operably connected to a transmission , which operably couples the motor to an output shaft that carries a tool coupler the transmission including a plurality of drive mechanisms to provide two modes of operation, wherein in a first mode of operation, rotation of the hub by rotation of the rotor of the motor effects reciprocating rotation of the shuttle and the gear segment to provide oscillating rotary movement of the output shaft, and operation of the transmission in a second mode provides continuous rotary motion to the output shaft .
