Abstract: A medical device includes a blade support, a blade supported by the blade support, and a pin. The blade support includes a bore with an inner portion oriented toward the blade and an outer portion oriented away from the blade. A discontinuity is located at a boundary between the inner and outer portions of the bore. The pin includes a longitudinal axis and a yaw plane is defined perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A rotational yaw degree of freedom is defined about the longitudinal axis of the pin. The blade support is operable to rotate about the pin in the yaw degree of freedom, contact the pin at the discontinuity of the bore, and tilts away from the yaw plane at the discontinuity of the bore in response to a force applied in a lateral direction.
