1. A debriding tool defining axial, radial, and circumferential directions, the tool comprising:
- a shaft extending in the axial direction and having a first end and a second end opposite the first end in the axial direction;
a flange connected to the second end of the shaft to extend in the radial direction therefrom;
the flange defining at least one aperture extending in the axial direction therethrough;
the flange having a circumference formed to including at least one spiraling groove; and
a cutting head comprisinga convex end cap,a cylindrical side wall,the convex end cap comprising a plurality of burrs,the cylindrical side wall extending from a perimeter of the convex end cap to cover the circumference of the flange, andthe cylindrical side wall comprising at least one extension extending to engage the at least one spiraling groove to secure the cutting head to the flange.
