1. A surgical device, comprising:
a suction shaft having an inner passageway extending therethrough between proximal and distal ends thereof, the suction shaft being configured to couple to a vacuum source to apply suction through the inner passageway; and a cutting assembly comprising:
an outer shaft having an inner passageway extending therethrough between proximal and distal ends thereof, the outer shaft having a window formed through a sidewall thereof adjacent to the distal end, andan inner shaft having a cutting element at a distal end thereof, the inner shaft being slidably disposed within the outer shaft such that the cutting element is movable relative to the window to allow tissue extending through the window and into the inner passageway of the outer shaft to be cut by the cutting element; and wherein the distal end of the outer shaft is receivable within the distal end of the suction shaft to mate the outer shaft and the suction shaft such that, when suction is applied through the inner passageway in the suction shaft, tissue cut by the cutting element is suctioned out of the distal end of the outer shaft and into the distal end of the suction shaft and can flow in a proximal direction through the inner passageway of the suction shaft. |
