Abstract
A cutting assembly including a grip. A tube assembly includes an outer tube, and an inner tube configured to be rotated by a motor of a drive assembly. The grip includes a nose portion defining an aperture from which the tube assembly extends distally, and an intermediate portion forming with the nose portion an open area ledge. The open area ledge may be sized to receive a connecting hub configured to be removably coupled to a housing of the drive assembly. A coupling member of the connecting hub may include a flange disposed within the open area ledge. A manually movable member is configured to rotate the outer tube about a longitudinal axis. The manually movable member may be positioned between the nose portion and the flange. The manually movable member may include a gripping surface positioned radially outwardly relative to sides of the nose portion.
