Intended purpose
A flat metal surgical instrument, usually of a high-grade stainless steel quality, with a serrated edge designed for attachment to a dedicated powered surgical saw used for cutting bone/tissue when a directional pressure is applied. 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 (back and forth) against the object to be cut. The end of the blade is typically not protected.
