Abstract:
1. A surgical coupling system, comprising: a first surgical coupling device and a second surgical coupling device each having at least two electrical coupling contacts that are moveable mechanically into engagement with one another, the first and the second coupling device being completely separated from each other in a separated position and being mechanically in engagement with one another in a mechanical coupling position, in the coupling position, the first and second coupling devices being moveable relative to one another between an OFF position, in which at least one first electrical coupling contact of the first coupling device and at least one first electrical coupling contact of the second coupling device are out of engagement, and an ON position in which the at least one first electrical coupling contact of the first coupling device and the at least one first electrical coupling contact of the second coupling device are in electrically conductive contact or engagement, and a switching position securing device for mechanically securing the first and second coupling devices in the ON position and in the OFF position.
