Abstract
Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure orthopedic surgeons use to visualize, diagnose and treat problems inside a joint. In usual, since the arthroscopic surgery is more accurate and minimally invasive than through 'open' surgery, the surgery of knee, shoulder, and wrist using auto-shaver is increasing in recent. However, repetitive use of arthroscopic-shaver may induce the second infection, hence the disposable arthroscopic-shaver should be developed. In this paper, a unique power transmission mechanism using DC motor, gear trains, and link mechanism is proposed for disposable arthroscopic-shaver and some test results of tissue cutting are introduced.
