Abstract
A surgical tool that has a pair of transmissions coupled to one another to effect driving of a cutting tool in both bidirectional intermittent rotational manners and in opposite directions of continuous rotation. The transmissions are driven by a motor coupled to one of the transmissions which is coupled to the second transmission.
Claims12
A surgical tool operable to selectively provide oscillating rotation and unidirectional rotation of an end effector, the surgical tool including:
- a housing;
- a motor mounted in the housing;
- a first transmission including a first driver and a first shaft coupled to the motor and operable to effect oscillating rotation of the first shaft;
- and
- a second transmission including an output shaft and a coupler configured to couple with an end effector, the output shaft being coupled to the first shaft and being fixed against relative rotation between the first shaft and the output shaft but allowing relative longitudinal movement therebetween.
