Summary:An anti-coring device for a surgical morcellator, which morcellator has a rotatable cutting blade having a sharpened edge and an outer sleeve that is axially moveable on the cutting blade, includes a shield mounted on the distal end of the outer sleeve and axially moveable therewith to selectively cover and at least partially uncover the sharpened edge of the rotatable cutting blade. The shield includes a main body and a protrusion extending axially from the main body and partially about the circumference of the cutting blade. The shield is axially positionable on the cutting blade so that it selectively covers the entire circumference of the sharpened edge of the cutting blade with its main body or only covers a portion of the circumference of the sharpened edge of the cutting blade with its protrusion, leaving the remaining portion of the sharpened edge exposed.
