Abstract: A two-position handpiece coupling seal is provided. The two-position handpiece coupling seal includes a neck disposed at a first end that is configured to receive an implement. The two-position handpiece coupling seal has a first seal disposed about the neck of the two-position handpiece coupling seal. The first seal is configured to engage with a surface of a housing of a handpiece that uses the two-position coupling seal in a first position. The two-position handpiece coupling seal has a second seal disposed about a bore of the two-position handpiece coupling seal at a second end of the two-position handpiece coupling seal opposite the first end. The bore is configured to receive a driveshaft and the second seal is configured to sealingly engage with the driveshaft when the bore receives the driveshaft.

Abstract: A surgical device, such as a debrider, can include an elongated inner shaft that is movable within an elongated, hollow outer shaft. An actuator can controllably impart movement to a proximal portion of the inner shaft. A cutting element, located at a distal portion of the inner shaft, can move with the inner shaft. The outer shaft can expose the cutting element as the inner shaft moves. The inner shaft can include a flexible inner shaft portion. A plurality of bearings, located between the inner shaft and the outer shaft along the flexible inner shaft portion, can space the flexible inner shaft portion with respect to the outer shaft as the inner shaft moves. The plurality of bearings can help reduce friction between the inner shaft and the outer shaft and help maintain concentricity of the inner shaft and the outer shaft.
