Abstract
A surgical hair clipper includes a clipper body and a blade assembly connected to the clipper body. The blade assembly includes a moveable blade configured to reciprocate to remove hair from a skin area and a blade housing that houses the moveable blade. The blade housing has a guide surface that faces the skin area during a hair removal process. A touch sensor is exposed at the guide surface for contact with the skin area during use. A processor receives a signal from the touch sensor when the touch sensor contacts the skin area. The processor uses logic saved in a memory to instruct a feedback device to provide an indication of skin contact between the touch sensor and the skin area.
