The debrider (100) includes a first 5 tubular member (120) that is adapted to connect to a first potential of an electrosurgical generator (160). A second tubular member (130) is at least partially disposed within the first tubular member (120) and is adapted to connect to a second potential of the electrosurgical generator (160). At least one tubular member (120,130) is selectively movable relative to the other. A first set of teeth (140) is disposed around at least a 1o portion of a distal periphery of the first tubular member (120). A second set of teeth (150) is disposed around at least a portion of a distal periphery of the second tubular member (130). At least one switch (170, 180) is operably coupled to at least one of the tubular members (120, 130) and activates movement of one tubular member (120, 130) and supplies respective electrical potentials to the tubular members (120, 130). 151/3 A 130 120 / 100 110 1OO170 A/ 18 160 FI.
