Instructions for Handling Saw Blades
DePuy Synthes recommends using a new saw blade for
each operation to ensure that the saw blade is optimally
sharpened and clean.
The following risks are associated with used saw blades:
•
Thermal necrosis caused by excessive heat build-up
•
Infection caused by residues
•
Extended cutting time due to poor sawing performance
•
Potentially, splintering of the teeth or the saw blade
The use of irrigation fluid is recommended to cool the
cutting tools and prevent heat necrosis.
Check the cutting tools for wear and/or damage after
each use, and replace if necessary. These are optimized
to meet the specific requirements of the tool. Non-
DePuy Synthes saw blades can considerably reduce the
lifetime of the system.
