Abstract

See full text

A battery pack for use with hand-held wound debridement devices. The battery pack of the present invention stores a plurality of batteries such that the longitudinal axes of the batteries are substantially coplanar with one another, thereby reducing the risk of undesired contact between the batteries and opposing terminals. By securing the batteries in this arrangement, the risk of electrical shorts within the battery pack is greatly reduced. The battery pack further includes a hinge mechanism for allowing the cover portion to be engaged with the base portion and retained in an open or a closed position. Advantageously, this hinge mechanism allows the cover and the base to be in engagement with one another while the wires are being tucked just prior to closing the battery pack.
