More Information
Summary:A control module for a powered surgical tool. The module includes a shell. Internal to the shell is a circuit for controlling the power generating unit of the tool with which the module is associated. Conductive pins extend through the shell to provide electrical connections to the components within the shell. Active seals are disposed around the conductors and the inner walls of the shell that define the openings in which the pins are seated. Each active seal include an inner and outer skirt. A biasing component disposed between the skirts urges the inner skirt against the section of the conductive pin seated in the opening. The biasing component also urges the outer skirt against the adjacent opening-defining inner wall of the shell. The active seal functions as a barrier between the conductive pin and the adjacent inner wall of the shell.
