Abstract

A surgical cutting instrument including a connection link connected to the distal end of a shaft having a body including integral convex ruled surfaces of connection, a first distal connecting portion; a support link articulated to the connection link and having convex ruled surfaces. A proximal connecting portion articulated to the first connection link defines a proximal rotational joint. A second distal connecting portion includes a blade holder link articulated to the support link. A blade holder link attachment root has a pulley portion, a drag portion, a blade link, a bendable cutting edge and a drag counter-portion. A reaction link articulates to the support link and to the blade/blade holder link, having a body including a pulley portion formed by convex ruled surfaces of the reaction link root. First and second distances between the first and second termination seats of the root are constant for any cutting condition.
