Medical - Medical (general) / Extract from operation report (following operation on knee)
Norwegian term or phrase: shaver
Hei! I'm trying to pin down the meaning of the term "shaver" in the sentence below, the surgeon was unable to insert a cannula into the knee because of pronounced synovitis, instead he carried out the procedure as follows:

"Etablerer .. anteromedial tilgang og går inn med shaver."

I can't find what is meant by a "shaver" in any online resources, so would really appreciate any help from someone who has encountered this term. Mange takk!

Explanation:
It's an English word. I googled "shaver" and "anteromedial" and found plenty of examples in English (below is one).

The link I provided also explains what the shaver is used for (removing tissue in this case).

DYONICS™ Power Shaver; med fokus på prestasjon

Siden DYONICS introduserte artroskopisk shaving for mer enn 25 år siden har
navnet vært synonymt med innovasjon, kvalitet og effektivitet.
Smith & Nephew har holdt denne tradisjonen ved like med unike produkter
som DYONICS BONECUTTER™ som kutter både bløtdeler og bein, DYONICS
INCISOR™ PLUSS ELITE som sannsynligvis er markedets mest effektive shaverblad og ikke minst unike DYONICS ELECTROBLADE™ som både kutter og
koagulerer samtidig!
Sammen med den ergonomiske POWERMAX™ ELITE shavermotoren er dette
et kirurgisk verktøy som ikke setter begrensninger for kirurgen.
Velger du et engangs DYONICS shaverblad velger du optimal
kutteeffektivitet og setter pasientsikkerheten i forsetet!
