🪚 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 🔄, 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 “orbital blade motion,” 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 . 👇 SHARE a few other Sagittal Saw uses and your experience
