A milling module for converting bone stock into bone chips comprises a shell adapted for releasable attachment to a base module. The shell has an inlet opening through which bone stock is introduced into the shell and an outlet opening through which bone chips are discharged from the shell. A milling element is moveably disposed in the shell between the inlet opening and the outlet opening for converting bone stock into bone chips. The shell includes a base adapted for releasable attachment to the base module. The base includes the outlet opening and a lid removably attached thereto. The lid includes the inlet opening of the shell. The base and the lid are collectively configured so that removal of the lid from the base allows the milling element to be accessed.

A surgical handpiece and an autoclavable surgical handpiece are disclosed. The surgical handpiece and the autoclavable surgical handpiece include a housing and a visible light emitter disposed within the housing. The surgical handpiece includes a cable adjacent to the housing and a strain relief member coupled to the cable, the strain relief member being disposed adjacent to the housing and configured to transmit visible light emitted by the visible light emitter therethrough. The autoclavable surgical handpiece includes a potting material disposed between the visible light emitter and the housing, the potting material having a melting point above 120 degrees Celsius and being configured to thermally insulate the visible light emitter and to transmit visible light emitted by the visible light emitter therethrough.
