Abstract:
A surgical instrument includes a cutting assembly, an outer tubing, and a flexible torque component. The cutting assembly extends from a first proximal end to a first distal end. The cutting assembly includes an outer cannula defining a cutting window and an inner cannula disposed within the outer cannula. The outer tubing extends from a proximal tubing end to a distal tubing end. The distal tubing end is coupled to the outer cannula. The outer tubing is configured to receive a torque at the proximal tubing end and transmit the torque to the outer cannula to rotate the outer cannula. The outer tubing includes a plurality of first wires and a plurality of second wires each including more than eight wires and less than twenty four wires. The flexible torque component is coupled to a third proximal end of the inner cannula to rotate the inner cannula.

Claim (Index 2):
The surgical instrument of  claim 1 , wherein a number of the plurality of first wires and a number of the plurality of second wires are each selected such that a percentage difference between (1) a rate of rotation associated with the torque received at the proximal tubing end and (2) a rate of rotation of the cutting window based on the torque transmitted to the outer cannula is less than a threshold difference, wherein the threshold difference is less than or equal to thirty percent.
