description A surgical footswitch for controlling a surgical instrument. The surgical footswitch includes a base. A treadle is rotatably coupled to the base to operate the surgical instrument. A foot guard is also rotatably coupled to the base. A blocking portion of the foot guard is configured to prevent physical access to the treadle in a lateral direction in a first position and permit access to the treadle in a lateral direction in a second position. A floor engagement portion of the foot guard engages a floor surface when the blocking portion is in the first position. The floor engagement portion is spaced from the floor surface when the blocking portion is in the second position. The floor engagement portion permits physical access to the treadle in a longitudinal direction when the blocking portion is in both the first position and the second position.
