ABSTRACT:
A dual position foot pedal includes a base and pedal arrangement which enables access by one of the user's toe and a user's sole for manipulation of the pedal. Switching between the two pedal positions is achieved by rotating the pedal. In this manner, the foot pedal combines the functionality of two common surgical foot pedal types in one pedal.
