A deflectable surgical shaver tool comprises a blade with a rotatablecutting shaft comprising a distal cutting end and a proximal non-cutting end,a fixedouter sheath coaxially surrounding the rotatable cutting shaft, a cuttingwindow at thedistal cutting end, and at least a portion that is deflectable. The surgicalshaver tool mayfurther comprise an actuator; a handpiece; and a first wire and a second wire,eachoperatively coupled to the actuator at a proximal end and to the deflectablesection atan opposite distal end. The first wire and the second wire are configured tocontroldeflection of the deflectable portion when the actuator is manipulated. Thisconfiguration allows for the curvature of the blade to be changed for moreefficientsurgical procedures and prevents harm to the patient.
