Abstract
A reusable surgical device includes a housing or body that supports one or more thermal energy storage members that retain or store heat during a cleaning and sterilization process. The stored heat functions to evaporate water that remains within the body or housing of the surgical device after the cleaning and sterilization process is completed to minimize any likelihood of infection of a patient or damage to electronics within the surgical device that may result or occur due to the presence of the water within the surgical device.
