System including wearable power receiver and wearable power-output device

A method comprising:

• carrying proximate to a first body portion of a health care provider a power-receiving connector, the power receiving connector configured to be usable after sterilization, and to releasably couple with a power-source connector supplied with electrical or radiant power, wherein if coupled, the power-receiving connector is operable to receive an electrical or radiant power from the power-source connector;
• carrying proximate to a second body portion of the health care provider a power-output device configured to be usable after sterilization, and to interact with a power-receiving device connected to a handheld medical device, wherein if interacting, the received electrical or radiant power is transferred from the power-output device to the power-receiving device;
• carrying a connective structure configured to be usable after sterilization, and to transfer the received electrical or radiant power from the power-receiving connector to the power-output device;
• and
• activating the handheld medical device with the supplied electrical or radiant power.

A system configured to be usable after sterilization, the system comprising:

• means for releasably coupling with a power-source connector supplied with electrical or radiant power, and wherein if coupled, the means for releasably coupling is operable to receive an electrical or radiant power from the power-source connector;
• means for wearing proximate to a first body portion of a health care provider the means for releasably coupling with a power-source connector;
• means for interacting with a power-receiving device connected to a handheld medical device, wherein if interacting, the received electrical or radiant power is transferred from the means for interacting to the power-receiving device;
• means for wearing proximate to a second body portion of the health care provider the means for interacting with a power-receiving device;
• means for transferring the received electrical or radiant power between the means for releasably coupling with a power-source connector and the means for interacting with a power-receiving device.
