Abstract
An apparatus includes a compressor, which is configured to compress air and includes an input port and an output port, an output conduit coupled with the output port and configured to receive the air from the compressor, an input conduit coupled with the input port, a switching valve coupled with the output conduit and with the input conduit, and configured to couple a pneumatic surgical cutting tool, alternatingly, with the output conduit and with the input conduit, and a supply conduit coupled with the input conduit and configured to supply the air, to the input conduit, from a surrounding environment. The supply conduit includes a one-way valve configured to inhibit the air from escaping from the input conduit to the surrounding environment when the compressor is idle. Other examples are also described.
