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 8):
The surgical instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the cutting window includes a material entry port through which material to be resected enters the cutting assembly, the surgical instrument further comprising an aspiration channel extending from the material entry port to a material exit port configured to be coupled to a vacuum source such that the resected material is received in the aspiration channel via the material entry port and is removed from the aspiration channel at the material exit port.
