Abstract:
A medical instrument is disclosed that includes a body, and outer blade, and at least one sensing device for determining a rotational position of the outer blade, the inner blade, or both. The outer blade, the inner blade, or both are rotatably connected to the body. The sensing device comprises a sensor that generates an output signal corresponding to its position within a magnetic field generated by an image guidance system.

Claim (Index 2):
A medical instrument comprising:\n i. a body; ii. a surgical element connected to the body, the surgical element being moveable relative to the body; iii. a mechanism for moving the surgical element relative to the body, the mechanism includes a first member and a second member; iv. a first sensor attached to the first member; v. a second sensor attached to the first member; vi. a magnet attached to the second member; wherein the magnet perturbs a magnetic field generated by an image guidance device, wherein the first sensor generates and communicates a first sensor position output signal to the image guidance system, and the second sensor generates and communicates a second sensor position output signal to the image guidance system, wherein in response to the perturbed magnetic field: i. the first sensor position output signal deviates from an initial position of the first sensor by a first sensor position error amount, and ii. the second sensor position output signal deviates from an initial position of the second sensor by a second sensor position error amount, the second sensor position error amount being less than the first sensor position amount, wherein the image guidance system generates either; i. a first sensor predicted position signal based on the second sensor position output signal, or ii. a second sensor predicted position signal based on the first sensor position output signal, and wherein the image guidance system corresponds either: i. a deviation between the first sensor predicted position signal and the first sensor position output signal as relative motion between the first member and the second member to determine and create a visual, real time position of the surgical element on a display, or ii. a deviation between the second sensor predicted position signal and the second sensor position output signal as relative motion between the first member and the second member to determine and create the visual, real time position of the surgical element on the display.
