Abstract
A surgical tool includes a drive housing, a shaft extending distally from the drive housing, a distal seal arranged at a distal end of the shaft, and a flush tube extending from the drive housing within the shaft and terminating proximal to the distal seal. A flushing fluid conveyed distally through the flush tube is discharged from the flush tube and impinges upon the distal seal. A proximal drain is arranged within the drive housing and in fluid communication with an annulus defined between the flush tube and an inner wall of the shaft. The flushing fluid discharged from the flush tube circulates proximally within the annulus to the proximal drain to be discharged from the drive housing.
