Abstract

See full text

A surgical saw blade is operatively coupled to an oscillatory power tool for oscillation about an oscillation axis (OA) and a plurality of cutting teeth are separated from one another by a clean out opening along a distal end. Each tooth presents oppositely disposed cutting edges extending transversely to the side faces and offset in opposite directions from each other. Each cutting edge has a length equal to the thickness (t) of the blade. One cutting edge protrudes a distance (de) from one side face of the blade and the other cutting edge protrudes the same distance (de) from the other side face of the blade. The offset (de) provides for cutting a groove having a width (dg) wider than the thickness (t) of the blade. Each tooth includes a V-shaped valley between the cutting edges thereof with the apex of the valley disposed on the centerline (c/l) of the tooth.
