Abstract: Arthroscopic cutters are used for resecting tissues, such as meniscal tissues, in meniscectomies or other arthroscopic procedures. The arthroscopic cutters have a shaft assembly with openable-closeable jaws at a working end of the shaft. A handpiece having a motor drive may be detachably coupled to a hub on a hub end of the handpiece. When the shaft is coupled to the handpiece, the motor drive will couple to the jaw structure to open and close the jaw structure to cut meniscal and other tissues.

Abstract: A radiofrequency (RF) device for treating tissue in the presence of an electrically conductive fluid includes an outer tube, an inner tube, a wire tube, an electrode, and a wire. The outer tube forms a bend located proximate a distal end. Each of the inner tube and the wire tube extends from the proximal end of the outer tube to the distal end of the outer tube. Tire inner tube and the wire tube each define segmented portions located at the bend of the outer tube. The electrode is connected to the inner tube at a distal end of the inner tube. The segmented portions are each configured to allow the inner tube, the wire tube, and the wire, to respectively flex proximate the bend upon rotation of the inner tube, the ware tube, and the wire about the axis of the outer tube.

Abstract: An electrosurgical probe can be detachably secured to a handpiece having a motor drive unit and an RF current contact. The electrosurgical probe includes an elongate shaft having a longitudinal axis, a distal dielectric tip, and a proximal hub which is detachably securable to the handpiece. A hook electrode is reciprocatably mounted in the distal dielectric tip, and an RF connector on the hub is couplable to the RF current contact in the handpiece when the hub is secured to the handpiece. A drive mechanism in the hub mechanically couples to the hook electrode, and drive mechanism engages a rotational component in the motor drive unit when the hub is secured to the handpiece. The drive mechanism converts rotational motion from the rotational component into axial reciprocation and transmits the axial reciprocation to the hook electrode to axially displace the hook electrode between a non-extended position and an extended position relative to the dielectric tip.
