Abstract

A foot switch for systems such as laser surgery systems. The foot switch utilizes a base, a signal generator connected to the base and a cover rotatably connected to the base in such a way that the cover can be rotated from a first closed position to a second open position. Thus the foot switch is compact and light weight.
