Zusammenfassung:A device includes an elongate leg, a guard, and a fluid discharge nozzle. The elongate leg has a longitudinal axis. The elongate leg has a first end and a second end. The first end is configured to couple with a craniotome wherein the longitudinal axis is aligned substantially parallel with a cutter axis of the craniotome. The guard is coupled to the second end and has a surface configured to engage with a tissue. The guard is configured to preclude contact of tissue with an end of a cutter of the craniotome. The fluid discharge nozzle is coupled to the guard and configured to direct an ejected fluid that targets separation the dura and the cranium ahead of the cutter to remove dura from a cutting path of the cutter.
