A handpiece is presented which utilizes fluid channels instead of electric wiring to provide power to a treatment device. These fluid channels operate a micro-
turbine generator that provides electrical energy to treatment devices. Each micro-
turbine generator generates electrical energy for powering at least one
electricity consuming functional device; wherein said
electricity consuming functional device is selected from the group; a compact
laser, an electromechanical
dental drill, an
ultrasound generator, a
microwave generator and, an activator for treatment chemicals. In particular this device provides energy to a dental hand-piece without the need for
electrical wiring or
optics between the hand-piece and the control apparatus. One or more fluid channels permit fluids to flow between the control apparatus and the hand-piece. This flow of fluid operates the micro-
turbine, which in turn produces energy to operate a medical / dental device. The fluid channels can also be used to deliver substances in conjunction with the
medical device use. The hand-piece of this apparatus can be manufactured for a specific medical /
dental procedure, or the apparatus can be made compatible / interchangeable with existing hand-pieces and control apparatus. This micro-turbine
energy system provides the power necessary to operate many state of the art devices. For example, the energy produced can be used to operate a
laser used for various dental applications such as drilling, pre-heating of the
drill area, or activation of PDT substances.
