Abstract:
1. A surgical system, comprising: a control console; a surgical device including a cutting element comprising an outer cannula and an inner cannula; a biopsy line configured to operatively connect the surgical device to the control console for supplying pressurized air from the control console to move the inner cannula longitudinally relative to the outer cannula; and a motor line configured to operatively connect the surgical device to the control console for supplying pressurized air from the control console to rotate the inner cannula relative to the outer cannula, wherein the biopsy line and motor line each include a first section and a second section, the first sections each having a distal end attached to the surgical device, and the second sections each having a proximal end operatively connected to the control console, wherein respective distal ends of the second sections are selectively connectable to respective proximal ends of the first sections, and wherein the respective second sections are reusable after operation of the surgical device, the surgical system further comprising a firing line configured to operatively connect the surgical device to the control console for supplying pressurized air from the control console to control longitudinal motion of the outer cannula relative to a body of the surgical device, wherein the firing line includes first and second sections, wherein the first section of the firing line has a distal end attached to the surgical device, and the second section of the firing line has a proximal end that is operatively connected to the control console, wherein a distal end of the second section of the firing line is selectively connectable to a proximal end of the first section of the firing line, and wherein the second section of the firing line is reusable after operation of the surgical device.
