Abstract
A spine shaver designed with increased tissue removing efficiency is described. The shaver comprises a cylindrical shaver blade, an elongated body, and a pulley and belt drive mechanism. The shaver blade further comprises a tissue cutting surface that extends along the longitudinal axis of the shaver. The shaver is further designed with the shaver blade positioned perpendicularly to the elongated body. The increased surface area of the shaver blade and perpendicular blade orientation provide an efficient means of removing spinal tissue and debulking the area between two vertebrae.
