Micro-saw blade for bone-cutting surgical saws
First Claim
1. A cutting blade set for cutting bone material when a blade is coupled to a surgical saw that is configured to selectively interface with each blade of the cutting blade set, the cutting blade set comprising:
- a plurality of cutting blades, each blade of the plurality of cutting blades comprising;
a distal end comprising a plurality of cutting teeth, the distal end of each cutting blade of the plurality of cutting blades having a different thickness;
a shank portion adjacent the distal end; and
a proximal end adjacent the shank portion, the proximal end being sized and shaped to interface with the surgical saw, the proximal end of each cutting blade of the plurality of cutting blades having substantially the same thickness.

Abstract
A surgical cutting blade for cutting bone material when the blade is coupled to a hand-held surgical saw having protrusions extending therefrom that interface with the cutting blade. The cutting blade includes a distal end comprising a plurality of cutting teeth and a shank portion adjacent the distal end. It also includes a proximal end adjacent the shank portion. The proximal end is shaped to attach to the surgical saw and includes an upper substantially planar surface and a lower substantially planar surface and a side edge extending between the upper and lower planar surfaces. The side edge at least in part defines an outer perimeter extending about the proximal end. The outer perimeter includes a plurality of indentations forming openings configured to receive and interface with the protrusions of the surgical saw in a manner that the protrusions cooperatively impart motion to drive the blade.

18. A cutting blade set for cutting bone material when a blade is coupled to a surgical saw that is configured to selectively interface with each blade of the cutting blade set, the cutting blade set comprising:
-
a first cutting blade having a first distal end having a first thickness and a first plurality of cutting teeth, a first shank portion adjacent to the first distal end, and a first proximal end adjacent to the first shank portion having a second thickness, the first proximal end being sized and shaped to interface with the surgical saw; and a second cutting blade having a second distal end having a third thickness and a second plurality of the cutting teeth, a second shank portion adjacent the second distal end, and a second proximal end adjacent to the second shank portion having a fourth thickness, the second proximal end being sized and shaped to interface with the surgical saw; wherein the first and third thicknesses are different and the second and fourth thicknesses are the same. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
