    摘要: A medical tool, in the form of a rotatably drivable tool, in particular a cutting tool such as a trepanation tool, the tool having a drive portion which can be connected to a medical device for in particular interlockingly transmitting torque, and a cutting portion which can be coupled to the drive portion so as to transmit torque. The tool comprises an electronic assembly which is designed to be activated by the tool being connected to the medical device, preferably by an operation of plugging the tool into the medical device, and/or to be activated by the cutting portion being decoupled from the drive portion.

    摘要: A medical instrument includes an apparatus for detecting activation cycles of the instrument. First and second parts of the instrument are movable relative to each other in an activation cycle. An energy detection coil detects inductively generated energy. An energy-generating magnet inductively generates energy to be detected by the energy detection coil. In the event of movement of the first movable part and the second movable part relative to each other, the energy-generating magnet is movable in a detection region of the energy detection coil and induces energy. A memory and processing device has a counter, detects a voltage signal based on the induced energy during each relative movement, increases the counter by one for each detection of the voltage signal, and counts the number of activation cycles of the instrument. In an alternative embodiment, the voltage signal is generated using a voltage created by a piezoelectric element.
