ABSTRACT:
A cutting blade assembly for use with a handpiece having a motor for rotatably driving the cutting blade assembly. The handpiece has a bore therein for receiving the cutting blade assembly. The cutting blade assembly includes an elongate tubular outer member having a distal end with an opening thereat, a proximal end, a hub unremovably secured to the proximal end so as to be a permanent part of the outer member. The hub is configured to be directly received and engaged in the handpiece bore. An elongate inner member is received in the outer member and has a distal cutting end disposed adjacent the opening in the distal end of the outer member. A proximal end of the inner member is adapted to be received in the handpiece bore and rotatably driven by the motor to rotate the inner member in the outer member. The cutting blade assembly includes the elongate tubular outer member having a radially inwardly facing surface along the length thereof with at least one elongate axially extending groove therein, the groove terminating at both the proximal and distal ends of the outer member. The cutting blade assembly also includes the outer member additionally having an irrigation liquid connection structure and a window through a wall of the outer member for providing liquid communication between the liquid connection structure and the elongate axially extending groove so that liquid will traverse the axial extent of the groove and to the opening. Bearings relatively rotatably support the inner and outer members and the irrigation liquid bypasses the bearings through the groove.
