Abstract
An electromechanical handheld surgical device includes a housing, and a non-planar display screen. The housing encloses a processor, a memory storing instructions, and an orientation detector configured to detect orientation of the electromechanical handheld surgical device with respect to a reference direction. The non-planar display screen is fixedly attached around a portion of the housing and configured to display information. Then instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the non-planar display screen to display the information on a portion of the non-planar display screen. The portion of the non-planar display screen is determined by the processor based on the detected orientation.
