Abstract

A surgical device, system, kit, and/or method can include an axial load limiting system and interchangeable components. Such an axial load limiting system can include a handle (160) coupled to an elongated member extending from the handle and configured such that a distal portion of the elongated member can be perσutaneously placed into a patient's body. A lever (162) can be pivotably attached to the handle, the elongated member can comprise a hollow shaft (153) slidably attached to the handle, and a rod (155) can be operably connected on the proximal end to the lever and movable axially inside the shaft. A surgical implement (166), for example, a curette, can be connected to the distal end (152) of the rod and pivotably connected to the distal end of the shaft. The system can include a biasing mechanism (188) adapted to be compressed within a cavity (176) in the handle by an axial load in excess of a predetermined axial load. When pivoting of the surgical implement is restricted due to an obstruction, such as hard tissue, and the excessive axial load is placed on the rod, the rod and the surgical implement can move the shaft in the distal direction so as to compress the biasing mechanism, thereby relieving the rod and surgical implement of the excessive axial load. The elongated member can be configured to releasably extend from the handle. Each of a plurality of elongated members can have a different configuration and be removably attachable to the handle. The device can include a docking mechanism secured to the handle for docking the elongated member to the handle, and a coupler mechanism adapted to releasably secure the elongated member to the handle.
