Claim 16:
17. A resection assembly comprising:
a shaver blade assembly, the shaver blade assembly including:
an outer shaft comprising:
an outer blade disposed at a distal end of the outer shaft;
an inner blade disposed within the outer blade, wherein the inner blade is configured to rotate with respect to the outer blade;
a stop disposed at the distal end of the outer shaft; and
an access hole disposed at the bottom of the outer blade, the access hole being proximate to the outer blade and the inner blade;
an outer sheath partially disposed about the outer shaft and configured to move relative to the outer shaft, the outer sheath including: a surgical elevator disposed at a distal end of the outer sheath, the surgical elevator having surgical elevator edge; and
a hypotube extending along a length of the outer sheath to the distal end of the outer sheath, the hypotube having a hypotube access hole, wherein the outer sheath moves between a first position and a second position relative to the outer shaft, wherein, in the first position:
the surgical elevator edge abuts the outer shaft stop;
the outer shaft access hole aligns with the hypotube access hole; and
the distal end of the outer shaft extends further than the surgical elevator edge; and
in the second position, the surgical elevator edge is spaced apart from the outer shaft stop.
