Abstract
A surgical device (10) includes a handle (122) and a rotatable assembly (130) coupled and rotatable with respect to the handle (122). The surgical device (10) further includes a switch (126) coupled to the handle (122) and having a plurality of positions. A first inductor (1122) is coupled to the switch (126) and a second inductor (1102) is coupled to the rotatable assembly (130). A current signal propagating through the first inductor (1122) and/or a current signal propagating through the second inductor (1102) changes based on a position of the switch (126).
