ABSTRACT:
A powered handpiece for driving a surgical blade to cut anatomical tissue includes a reusable handpiece body having a distal end for being coupled with a surgical blade, a drive shaft in the handpiece body for rotatably driving the surgical blade, a motor assembly for being installed in the handpiece body to rotatably drive the drive shaft and a suction channel in the handpiece body including a portion extending through the drive shaft parallel to a longitudinal axis of the motor assembly for evacuating anatomical tissue cut by the blade from the handpiece body for external collection. The surgical blade is for use with the powered handpiece and carries a sealing arrangement facilitating irrigation and suction. The handpiece body is capable of being sterilized to medical standards prior to each use. The motor assembly, which is non-sterile, is removable from the handpiece body prior to sterilization of the handpiece body and is reinstallable in the handpiece body subsequent to sterilization of the handpiece body without contaminating the sterilized handpiece body. An installation device includes a reusable funnel for being disposed over the handpiece body and through which the motor assembly is inserted for installation in the handpiece body. An electric cord assembly for being coupled between the handpiece and a power console includes a plug for being plugged into the motor assembly after the motor assembly has been installed in the handpiece body and a locking ring on the plug for selectively, releasably, lockingly engaging the handpiece body to secure the motor assembly in the handpiece body.
