Abstract
The present devices and methods relate generally to vacuum or suction powered medical devices and methods for cutting, resecting, excising, morcellating and/or evacuating tissue from various regions of a patient's body, in certain variations, the devices may produce a rotational motion by converting a linear reciprocating motion to a rotational motion, causing a cutting shaft or other tool to rotate to perform work on a tissue in various regions of the body.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A method for performing work on tissue in the human body comprising:
positioning an operable element located on a distal end of a medical device against a target tissue; powering the medical device with suction such that the suction drives a mechanism that produces linear reciprocating motion; converting the linear reciprocating motion into a rotary motion; and causing, via the rotary motion, the operable element to rotate, whereby the operable element performs work on the target tissue.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
