The cutter used in the version may include an inclined cutting distal end and a cutting edge with a recessed grinding part. The version of the device may also include a sucker connected so that a fluid flows into the decompression inner lumen, the systematic action of the sucker and the cutter driving mechanism, and a fluid management system.
