Abstract
A tissue shaver and methods of use is disclosed. The tissue shaver operates to remove tissue.
Claims16
A tissue shaver comprising:
- an outer housing including a proximal end and a distal end and a longitudinal axis disposed therebetween;
- a cutting burr including a longitudinal shaft with a proximal end and a distal end, and a burr on the distal end of the longitudinal shaft, the longitudinal shaft operably coupled with a plunger including a distal end and a proximal end, and the longitudinal shaft and plunger coaxially disposed within the outer housing, and the cutting burr rotates relative to the cutting burr to provide a cutting action;
- a first geared wheel operably coupled with the proximal end of the longitudinal shaft;
- a second geared wheel rotatably coupled with the distal end of the plunger;
- and the second geared wheel rotatably coupled with the first geared wheel;
- a spring fixedly coupled with the distal end of the plunger as to proximally bias the plunger when the plunger is translated distally;
- and
- a handle operably coupled with the proximal end of the plunger, wherein the plunger is translated distally to along the longitudinal axis of the outer housing as to rotate the second geared wheel and rotate the cutting burr about the longitudinal axis.
