Plain-Language Overview of Independent Claims

US Patent 10631883 has one independent claim (Claim 1).

• Claim 1: This claim describes a surgical reamer device. It consists of a cutting rib with a curved part that has a sharp, outer edge. This cutting rib fits into a centralizer through a radial slot, creating a small space (gap) between them. The curved part of the cutting rib is shaped to match the centralizer's surface. The sharp outer edge of the cutting rib is wavy, forming tunnels in the gap to allow debris passage, and it sticks out beyond the centralizer's surface. Additionally, the curved part of the cutting rib creates a window with an inner edge designed to interlock with the inner edge of another cutting rib to form a complete rib assembly.
