๐ช Sagittal Bone Saws in Modern #Orthopedic Surgery . Precision in orthopedic surgery often comes down to the specialized tools, essential in procedures like total knee and hip replacements. Using a high-speed oscillating blade that moves just 3-5 degrees, sagittal #bonesaws allow surgeons to make incredibly precise bone cuts while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. . The saw blade oscillates at frequencies up to 145 Hz - 145 back-and-forth movements per second ๐, creating clean, accurate cuts through bone tissue. To prevent heat damage (critical concern in bone surgery) these saws often use cooling saline solution to protect healthy bone cells. . Continued #bonesaw innovations include โorbital blade motion,โ which helps the saw teeth cut more efficiently by adding a slight up-and-down movement to the traditional oscillation in efforts to reduce surgery time and improve patient outcomes. #MedicalTechnology #orthopedictools . ๐ SHARE a few other Sagittal Saw uses and your experience
