    Abstract: An assembly and/or system having a cutting device configured to cut tissue, and an inflatable device configured for insertion into the cut tissue to further separate the cut tissue. The inflatable device may be wedge shaped to separate the cut tissue upon insertion into the cut. The inflatable device is inflatable and otherwise adjustable to separate the tissue to a medically indicated extent. For instance, the inflatable device may be moved axially with respect to the cutting device; and/or may be sheathed or unsheathed to adjust an exposed inflated length thereof; and/or may include two or more separately inflatable elements. The inflatable device thus may be used to achieve blunt tissue dissection after an initial cut is made into the tissue with a sharper instrument.
