  • Dynamically controlling a distal window opening in a rotary surgical shaver
    Patent number: 12290274
    Abstract: A medical device system configured to dynamically control a shaver window opening via controlling positioning of an opening in an inner drive shaft relative to an opening in an outer housing based on continuously tracking the motor is disclosed. The medical device system may include a shaver at a distal end and an aspiration system configured to aspirate material through the inner drive shaft. A processor of the medical device system may control rotational motion of the inner drive shaft based on continuously sensing the position of the opening in the inner drive shaft to reduce clogs and increase cutting effectiveness of the system. By continuously monitoring the medical device system, the processor can correct out of phase conditions in oscillation mode to prevent poor cutting conditions. The processor can also dynamically determine a reversal position on the opening in the inner drive shaft to create a desired cutting action.
