A medical device includes a hollow tubular connector having a first open end and a second open end, the first open end configured to be connected to a suction port of a surgical cutting device, and the second open end configured to be connected to a source of pressurized air, the hollow tubular connector including a first seal located proximate the first open end and having a first diameter, the first seal being configured to sealingly accommodate a tubular shank, of a first diameter, of a blade of the surgical cutting device.

Declogging method and system

A two-position handpiece coupling seal is provided. The two-position handpiece coupling seal includes a neck disposed at a first end that is configured to receive an implement. The two-position handpiece coupling seal has a first seal disposed about the neck of the two-position handpiece coupling seal. The first seal is configured to engage with a surface of a housing of a handpiece that uses the two-position coupling seal in a first position. The two-position handpiece coupling seal has a second seal disposed about a bore of the two-position handpiece coupling seal at a second end of the two-position handpiece coupling seal opposite the first end. The bore is configured to receive a driveshaft and the second seal is configured to sealingly engage with the driveshaft when the bore receives the driveshaft.

Two position medical handpiece seal

A surgical device, such as a debrider, can include an elongated inner shaft that is movable within an elongated, hollow outer shaft. An actuator can controllably impart movement to a proximal portion of the inner shaft. A cutting element, located at a distal portion of the inner shaft, can move with the inner shaft. The outer shaft can expose the cutting element as the inner shaft moves. The inner shaft can include a flexible inner shaft portion. A plurality of bearings, located between the inner shaft and the outer shaft along the flexible inner shaft portion, can space the flexible inner shaft portion with respect to the outer shaft as the inner shaft moves. The plurality of bearings can help reduce friction between the inner shaft and the outer shaft and help maintain concentricity of the inner shaft and the outer shaft.

Medical device including flexible shaft with multiple bearings

A method of performing a surgical procedure with a surgical tool assembly includes inserting a surgical tool into a passage of a patient. The surgical tool can include a main unit and a first rigid sheath. The main unit includes an inner tube that is received within an outer tube. The first rigid sheath removably receives the main unit. The surgical tool can be removed from the passage of the patient, and the first rigid sheath can be completely removed from the main unit. A second rigid sheath having a different shape from the shape of the first rigid sheath can then be removably attached to the main unit instead of the first rigid sheath.

Method of performing a surgical procedure with a surgical tool assembly

Provided is a medical device comprising an inner tubular member, an outer tubular member having a distal end and an open window disposed at the distal end, a first electrode and/or a second electrode disposed at the distal end of the outer tubular member, and a cannulated plunger or armature or shaft configured to drive the inner tubular member to cut tissue in cooperation with the open window of the outer tubular member. The first electrode and the second electrode may be configured to provide RF energy needed for a surgical operation and may be configured to be substantially symmetrical or asymmetrical along a longitudinal axis of the outer tubular member.

Medical device

Disclosed herein is a medical device. The medical device includes an outer tubular member and an inner tubular member. The outer tubular member has a distal end, an open window disposed at the distal end, and one or more dimples. The inner tubular member has a distal tip and one or more axial grooves. The inner tubular member is configured to be received within the outer tubular member. The one or more axial grooves and the one or more dimples are configured to align the distal tip of the inner tubular member with the open window of the outer tubular member. The open window of the outer tubular member and the distal tip of the inner tubular member are configured to cut tissue.

Planar alignment for asymmetric cutting members

Apparatus and method for cutting tissue

Disclosed herein is a medical device. The medical device includes two coaxially aligned solenoids and a cannulated armature configured to be received within the two coaxially aligned solenoids.

Disposable debrider with cannulated solenoid

Disclosed herein is a medical device. The medical device includes a blade tube section, a solenoid, and a mechanical arrangement. The blade tube section includes an outer blade tube, an inner blade tube, and a cutting window at a distal end of the blade tube section. The solenoid is offset from a central axis of the blade tube section. The mechanical arrangement is between the inner blade tube and the solenoid.

Methods of reciprocation in a surgical shaver

A microdebrider comprising: (a) a handpiece; (b) an interchangeable tip connected to the handpiece; (c) an outer tune rotatably connected to the interchangeable tip, the outer tube including an outer tube window; (d) an inner tube extending at least partially through the outer tube, the inner tube including an inner tube window; (e) a lock selector connected to the inner tube; and (f) a bias device; wherein the bias device is movable, and upon movement of the bias device into contact with the lock selector the inner tube is immobilized so that the inner tube window is aligned with the outer tube window, aligned with a wall of the outer tube, or in a condition therebetween.

Blade positioning device

Disclosed herein is a medical device. The medical device includes a blade tube section, a motor, and a mechanical arrangement. The blade tube section includes an outer blade tube, inner blade tube, and a cutting window at a distal end of the blade tube section. The motor is offset from a central axis of the blade tube section. The mechanical arrangement is between the inner blade tube and the motor.

A debrider that includes an outer member, an inner member located inside of the outer member, and an irrigation supply channel configured to supply irrigation fluid to a distal portion of an aspiration channel defined inside the inner member. The irrigation supply channel is located outside of the outer member.

Debrider with external irrigation supply channel

Disclosed herein is a medical device. The medical device includes a blade tube section, a motor, and a cotch yoke or slotted link mechanism. The blade tube section includes an outer blade tube, an inner blade tube, and a cutting window at a distal end of the blade tube section. The motor is spaced from the blade tube section. The scotch yoke or slotted link mechanism is between the inner blade tube and the motor.

Disclosed herein is a medical device. The medical device includes a blade tube section, a motor, and a lever arm. The blade tube section includes an outer blade tube, an inner blade tube, and a cutting window at a distal end of the blade tube section. The motor is spaced from the blade tube section.
