Abstract
A device for creating a void space in living tissue includes a handle from which a shaft extends. A tip is moveably attached to the distal end of the shaft. The angular position of the tip is controlled by the rotation of a knob mounted to the handle. The knob is mounted to the handle to project beyond opposed side surfaces of the handle and a surface that bridge between the side surfaces.
