Reciprocating surgical saw blade, single-use

Intended purpose

A sterile, flat surgical cutting instrument, usually made of high-grade stainless steel, with a serrated edge designed for attachment to a dedicated powered saw used for cutting bone/tissue during orthopaedic surgery. This device is designed with the cutting teeth arranged in a straight line along the cutting edge and which cuts when the blade is powered in a rapid reciprocating movement (a back and forth motion like a jigsaw) against the object to be cut. The end of the blade is typically not protected. This is a single-use device.
