A surgical instrument (10) includes a plastic hub (12) which is received by a handpiece (30) for operating the instrument (10). The plastic hub (12) includes a wall that encloses a passage that receives a surgical tool carrying member, and at least one detectable coding element (24) is embedded at a selected circumferential position in the wall. For example, the coding element (24) is embedded in a hole disposed in the wall. Alternatively, the coding element (24) is molded into the wall during injection molding of the hub. The coding element (24) is for example, a magnet.

Un instrument chirurgical (10) comprend un moyeu en plastique (12), s'intégrant dans un porte-outil (30), destiné à faire fonctionner l'instrument (10). Une paroi de ce moyeu en plastique (12) délimite un passage abritant un élément porteur d'instrument chirurgical et au moins un élément de codage détectable (24), positionné sur un emplacement choisi sur le pourtour de la paroi. Cet élément de codage, lequel est installé, par exemple, dans une cavité ménagée dans la paroi, peut être, dans un autre mode de réalisation, moulé dans la paroi lors du moulage par injection du moyeu. Il est notamment possible d'utiliser un aimant comme élément de codage (24).
