Abstract

The purpose of this paper is concerned with a development of an air-powered handpiece for surgical operation. The handpiece is the tool of surgical instruments and it can be used to interchange multiple attachments for drilling, pinning, sawing, driving screws and reaming. Most of domestic medical instruments bring in overseas and the air-powered handpiece imported from foreign countries at 100% too. Therefore we develop new air powered handpiece. we research in 2D and 3D modeling, design of air line, analyze structure. The air-powered handpiece composes of body, power supply air-line, elements for mechanical power transmission, attachment, and surgical tools. The handpiece is developed by several processes that 3D design, machining, heat treatment and coating. The developed handpiece is experimented to confirm check the efficiency.
