Abstract

See full text

A surgical instrument includes an inner member having a plurality of interengaging segments that are disposed within a bend region of an elongated outer member. The interengaging segments transmit force applied to a proximal region of the inner member through the bend region to cause a cutting implement at a distal region of the inner member to move and cut tissue admitted through an opening at the distal end of the outer member.
