    Abstract: A surgical system, a method of operating a surgical system, and a surgical handpiece are disclosed. The surgical system (10) comprises a surgical handpiece (12) comprising a visible light emitter (14), a controller (16) configured to determine a state of the surgical handpiece and to control the visible light emitter to emit visible light based on the state of the surgical handpiece, a light sensor (18) configured to produce an output signal based on sensing the visible light, and a second surgical system (22) configured to determine an identity of the surgical handpiece based on the output signal. The surgical handpiece 12 comprises: a housing 24 having a first end 28 and a second end 30; a cable 26 adjacent to the housing, the cable having an external surface; the visible light emitter 14 disposed within the housing; and a strain relief member 32 coupled to the external surface of the cable and disposed adjacent the first end of the housing, and the strain relief member being configured to transmit visible light 20 emitted by the visible light emitter therethrough. The lumen of the strain relief member can be configured to receive the cable.

    Abstract: A surgical console system configured to provide a drive signal to a surgical instrument for rotating a surgical bur. The surgical console system may supply a first drive signal to the surgical instrument to rotate the bur at a desired speed and to determine an electrical current drawn by the surgical instrument based on the drive signal. The surgical console system may be further configured to identify a chatter event based on the electrical current, and to supply a second drive signal to the surgical instrument based on the identified chatter event.

    Abstract: A console-based surgical system comprises a plurality of handheld surgical instruments, each instrument having a connector line and an instrument visual indicator coupled to the instrument and/or connector line. The system further comprises a footswitch having a connector line and a footswitch visual indicator coupled the footswitch and/or connector line. The system further comprises a console, which in turn comprises a plurality of instrument ports, with the connector lines of the handheld instruments being connected to the instrument ports. The console further comprises a footswitch port, with the connector line of the footswitch connected to the footswitch port. The console further comprises a controller configured to associate the footswitch port with one of the instrument ports such that the footswitch is operable to actuate a function of the handheld surgical instrument connected to the associated instrument port. The controller is further configured to activate the footswitch visual indicator and the instrument visual indicator of the associated instrument port to display outputs that correspond with one another.
