SURGICAL SAGITTAL SAW BLADE WITH ANGLED TEETH AND CHIP CATCHMENT AND RECIPROCATING SAW BLADE WITH ANGLED TEETH

摘要

A sagittal saw blade wherein the teeth are arranged so that relative to the teeth located closer to the outer sides of the blade, the inner located teeth are located closer to the proximal end of the blade. The blade is further formed to have an opening between at least two of the teeth that extends proximally rearward. The opening increases in width as the opening extends proximally along the length of the blade. The opening opens into a void space that functions as a chip catchment space.
