ABSTRACT:
A surgical cutting device, particularly suited for back surgery where a ruptured disk is involved. The device includes an elongated, narrow tube which has a smooth end for insertion into the area adjacent the required surgery. The tube further includes at least a single opening on the lateral surface of the tube adjacent the smooth end. The opening extends into the bore of the tube, with the bore extending substantially the length of the tube. The device further includes a cutting member having a periphery which is embraced and is slidable within the bore of the tube. The cutting member is reciprocally slidable within the tube so that the forwardmost surface of the cutting member traverses the opening to enable cutting of any material that is located in the opening and suction means connected to the bore of the tube for drawing loose materials to the side of the opening for cutting. The cutting member has an opening which extends longitudinally through the member to enable the vacuum caused by the suction means to communicate with the opening. The surgical device also includes means for providing fluids through the opening to further facilitate removal of loose tissue.
