ABSTRACT:
A cutting device for use in a medical procedure includes a housing having a housing cavity and defining a first cutting surface. An actuator is positioned within the housing cavity and has a first cam member. A cutting member is positioned with the housing cavity and has a second cam member. The cutting member defines a second cutting surface. Movement of the actuator within the housing cavity causes the first cam member to cooperate with the second cam member so as to rotate the cutting member relative to the housing. Rotation of the cutting member relative to the housing causes the second cutting surface to move relative to the first cutting surface to effectuate a cutting operation.
