1. - A surgical cutting saw for penetrating bone when said saw is operatively coupled to an oscillatory power tool, comprising, in combination:

  • a blade having a proximal end and a distal end, said proximal end having means for attachment to the oscillatory power tool for driving engagement thereby, said distal end having a plurality of cutting teeth oriented such that outboard said teeth contact the bone to be cut initially to thereby provide better tracking of said saw when forming a kerf in the bone, and the teeth then cut both progressively and sequentially as the kerf begins to form to provide faster aggressive cutting and lower temperature cutting through efficient chip removal.
