ELECTRICALLY INSULATED SURGICAL PROBING TOOL

摘要

A surgical tool (21) for probing bone tissue includes an elongate member (30, 30', 30'') coupled to a handle assembly (50). The handle assembly (50) is electrically coupled to a electrical signal source (22). The surgical tool (21) includes an electrically conductive portion (34) in communication with an un-insulated distal end of the elongate member (30, 30', 30''), and an insulated portion extending from the tip along the elongate member (30, 30', 30'') and handle assembly (50).
