Abstract
A surgical device for cutting or shaving bone or tissue includes a housing having an elongated tube extending therefrom, the elongated tube configured to support a surgical tool at a distal end thereof. A gear assembly is disposed within the housing and is configured to control oscillation of the surgical tool. A motor is operably coupled to the housing and is configured to drive the gear assembly upon activation thereof. The motor is moveable relative to the housing to adjust one or more gears of the gear assembly which, in turn, adjusts an oscillation angle of the surgical tool to control the aggressiveness of the surgical tool when cutting tissue or bone.
