A surgical tool includes a rocker assembly configured to cause rotation of a surgical blade to form an incision. The rocker assembly includes a gear. The surgical tool also includes a ratchet configured to rotate in a first direction and a second direction. The surgical tool further includes a linkage arm connecting the rocker assembly and the ratchet so that rotation of the ratchet causes rotation of the rocker assembly. In addition, the surgical tool includes a spring configured to be extended by the ratchet when the ratchet is rotated in the first direction. The spring is also configured to retract and cause the ratchet to rotate in the second direction.

1. A surgical tool comprising: a surgical blade; anda driver configured to rotate the surgical blade, the driver comprising: a rocker assembly configured to cause rotation of the surgical blade to form an incision, the rocker assembly comprising a gear;a ratchet configured to rotate in a first direction and a second direction;a linkage arm connecting the rocker assembly and the ratchet so that rotation of the ratchet causes rotation of the rocker assembly; anda spring configured to be extended by the ratchet when the ratchet is rotated in the first direction, the spring also configured to retract and pull on the ratchet to cause the ratchet to rotate in the second direction;wherein the rocker assembly is configured to rotate the surgical blade forward and backward a first time based on the rotation of the ratchet in the first direction; andwherein the rocker assembly is configured to rotate the surgical blade forward and backward a second time based on the rotation of the ratchet in the second direction. 2. The surgical tool of claim 1, wherein: the gear is configured to rotate around a central axle;the rocker assembly further comprises a connecting link configured to pivot around the central axle, the connecting link attached to the gear; andthe linkage arm is rotatably connected to the connecting link such that movement of the linkage arm causes the connecting link to pivot and rotate the gear. 3. The surgical tool of claim 2, further comprising: a drive belt configured to be rotated by the rocker assembly and to rotate the surgical blade. 4. The surgical tool of claim 3, wherein the rocker assembly further comprises: a cap configured to keep the drive belt engaged against the gear. 5. The surgical tool of claim 1, further comprising: a pawl configured to keep the ratchet from rotating in the second direction, after having been rotated in the first direction, until the surgical tool is fired. 6. The surgical tool of claim 5, further comprising: a trigger configured to fire the surgical tool and move the pawl so that the ratchet rotates in the second direction. 7. The surgical tool of claim 1, further comprising: a knob configured to be rotated by an operator in order to rotate the ratchet in the first direction. 8. The surgical tool of claim 1, wherein the surgical blade is curved. 9. The surgical tool of claim 1, wherein the spring is connected directly to the ratchet. 10. A surgical tool comprising: a surgical blade; anda driver configured to rotate the surgical blade, the driver comprising: a drive belt configured to rotate the surgical blade to form an incision;a spring-loaded ratchet configured to rotate in a first direction to extend a spring, the spring-loaded ratchet also configured to rotate in a second direction when the spring retracts and pulls on the ratchet; anda gear configured to rotate in response to rotation of the ratchet, wherein the gear is configured to rotate the drive belt in order to rotate the surgical blade;wherein the gear is configured to rotate the drive belt in order to rotate the surgical blade forward and backward a first time based on the rotation of the ratchet in the first direction; andwherein the gear is configured to rotate the drive belt in order to rotate the surgical blade forward and backward a second time based on the rotation of the ratchet in the second direction. 11. The surgical tool of claim 10, further comprising: a rocker assembly comprising the gear and a connecting link, the gear configured to rotate around a central axle, the connecting link attached to the gear and configured to pivot around the central axle in order to rotate the gear. 12. The surgical tool of claim 11, further comprising: a linkage arm connecting the rocker assembly and the ratchet, the linkage arm rotatably connected to the connecting link and to the ratchet such that movement of the linkage arm causes the connecting link to pivot and rotate the gear. 13. The surgical tool of claim 11, wherein the rocker assembly further comprises: a cap configured to keep the drive belt engaged against the gear. 14. The surgical tool of claim 10, further comprising: a pawl configured to keep the ratchet from rotating in the second direction, after having been rotated in the first direction, until the surgical tool is fired. 15. The surgical tool of claim 14, further comprising: a trigger configured to fire the surgical tool and move the pawl so that the ratchet rotates in the second direction. 16. The surgical tool of claim 10, further comprising: a knob configured to be rotated by an operator in order to rotate the ratchet in the first direction. 17. The surgical tool of claim 10, wherein the surgical blade is curved. 18. A surgical tool comprising: a surgical blade comprising a curved cutting blade and a central portion connected to the curved cutting blade; anda driver configured to be connected to the central portion of the surgical blade and rotate the surgical blade, the driver comprising: a rocker assembly configured to cause rotation of the surgical blade, the rocker assembly comprising a gear;a ratchet configured to rotate in a first direction and a second direction;a linkage arm connecting the rocker assembly and the ratchet so that rotation of the ratchet causes rotation of the rocker assembly; anda spring configured to be extended by the ratchet when the ratchet is rotated in the first direction, the spring also configured to retract and pull on the ratchet in order to cause the ratchet to rotate in the second direction;wherein the rocker assembly is configured to rotate the surgical blade forward and backward a first time based on the rotation of the ratchet in the first direction; andwherein the rocker assembly is configured to rotate the surgical blade forward and backward a second time based on the rotation of the ratchet in the second direction. 19. The surgical tool of claim 18, wherein: the gear is configured to rotate around a central axle;the rocker assembly further comprises a connecting link configured to pivot around the central axle, the connecting link attached to the gear; andthe linkage arm is rotatably connected to the connecting link such that movement of the linkage arm causes the connecting link to pivot and rotate the gear. 20. The surgical tool of claim 19, further comprising: a drive belt configured to be rotated by the rocker assembly and to rotate the surgical blade.
