Abstract
A surgical tool for shearing tissue at a target surgical site, the surgical tool comprising a cannula assembly with a distal end and a proximal end, a cannula opening into the lumen of the cannula at the distal end, a cutting device coupled to the distal end and within the cannula opening, and an axial ball joint coupled to the proximal end of the cannula assembly, that when rotated, causes the cutting device at the distal end to rotate about a longitudinal axis passing axially through the lumen of the cannula assembly, so as to shear a portion of tissue at a target surgical site.
