Abstract
The present application relates to a tubular shaft instrument for separating tissue. The invention relates to a tubular shaft instrument that results in a more reliable, cleaner separation of tissue. To achieve this, in contrast to conventional cutting devices, the blade is not displaced through the fixed tissue, but glides over the latter until a complete separation is ascertained.
