TRANSLUMINALE MIKROSEKTIONSVORRICHTUNG.

摘要

The transluminal microdisection device comprises a flexible drive shaft (10) with a rotatable cutting tip (12) attached to it. An abrasive surface on the tip is comprised of an abrasive material attached to the surface of the tip. The drive shaft and tip are hollow, so that they can be guided along a wire (34). A rotatable prime mover (18) is capable of rotating the drive shaft at a rotation rate of from about 20,000 r.p.m. to 155,000 r.p.m.
