Abstract
A medical device for removing tissue from a body cavity includes a tubular shaped handle securely connected and in communication with an elongated hollow tubular probe. The probe includes a spherical tip and an open area with a notch. The open area includes a cutting edge for removing tissue. The handle has a visual and tactile indicator in the general shape of a raised arrow. The raised indicator is axially aligned with open area of the probe. Accordingly, the user can feel or see the raised indicator and know the exact orientation of the open area when the cutting edge of the device is in the body cavity.
