Abstract
A system for recharging medical instruments comprises a medical instrument tray defining a plurality of recesses therein for receiving and storing a corresponding plurality of medical instruments. At least one of the medical instruments includes a secondary coil coupled to a rechargeable voltage source. The medical instrument tray includes a primary coil positioned at least partially about one or more of the recesses configured to receive and store one of the medical instruments. The primary coil couples to the secondary coil to charge the rechargeable voltage source when the corresponding medical instrument is received in the recess. A storage container is provided for receiving and storing one or more such medical instrument trays. The storage container includes an electrical routing system for routing voltage from an external voltage source to the primary coils.
