Norwegian term

shaver

Norwegian to English Medical Medical (general) Extract from operation report (following operation on knee)
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!

shaver

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!
