A shaft being, e.g., flexible, that includes an elongated outer sheath, at least one drive shaft disposed within the outer sheath and a ring non- rotatably mounted on the at least one rotatable drive shaft and at least one light source mounted within the shaft, such that, upon rotation of the at least one rotatable drive shaft, the ring alternately blocks and allows light from the light source to be detected. The shaft may also include a moisture sensor disposed within the outer sheath of the shaft and configured to detect moisture within the outer sheath. The shaft may include couplings that connect a distal end of the outer sheath to a surgical attachment and a proximal end of the outer sheath to a remote power console.

La présente invention a trait à un arbre flexible, par exemple, comportant une gaine extérieure de forme allongée, au moins un arbre d'entraînement disposé dans la gaine extérieure et un anneau monté non rotatif sur au moins un arbre d'entraînement rotatif et au moins une source lumineuse montée dans l'arbre, de sorte que, lors de la rotation dudit au moins un arbre d'entraînement rotatif, l'anneau bloque et permet en alternance la détection de la lumière provenant de la source lumineuse. L'arbre peut également comporter un capteur d'humidité disposé à l'intérieur de la gaine extérieure et configuré pour la détection d'humidité dans la gaine extérieure. L'arbre peut comporter des éléments de couplage qui relient une extrémité distale de la gaine extérieure à un accessoire chirurgical et une extrémité proximale de la gaine extérieure à une console d'alimentation éloignée.
