Abstract
A surgical handpiece includes a shell, an energy applicator, a transmission component, a lid, a latch and a data tag. The shell defines a void for receiving a power module and an opening through which the power module is inserted into and removed from the void. The energy applicator is attached to the shell. The energy applicator, when actuated, outputs energy for application to a tissue to perform a medical/surgical task. The transmission component is disposed in the shell for transmitting energy output by the power module to the energy applicator. The lid moveably is mountable to the shell to cover the shell opening. The latch is moveably attached to the shell or the lid for holding the lid in a latched state. The data tag is mounted to the latch so as to move with the latch, the data element including data identifying the handpiece.
