FYI: Here's a slick, single-use small bone tool that eliminates wor-
ries about reprocessing, repairs or replacing batteries. It's packaged
in a specially designed sterile tray, within a sterile pouch. Before use,
the surgeon simply inserts a non-sterile motor through into the
tool's handle and locks it into place, then removes the tool from the
tray. The company claims that once the reusable motor is encapsu-
lated, it can't be contaminated or contaminate the tool. At the end of
surgery, the surgeon places the tool back in the tray, removes the
motor and closes the tray. The tray with the contaminated tool is
thrown away, while the motor is immediately ready for reuse. Collet,
quick release and keyless chuck attachments are packaged sepa-
rately in sterile pouches; only the attachment that's needed must be
opened.
