Cut Edge: The width of the blade measured from the outside base of the two extreme teeth.

  • The doctors decide the edge according to their surgery specifications.
  • Main edges are 13 mm (Thin), 19 mm (Medium) and 25 mm (Wide).

Cut Depth: The actual depth attainable, not the overall blade length, while making a cut.

  • For knee operations, generally using the 90 mm.
  • For hip operations, generally using the 70 mm.
  • But sometimes the companies or hospitals want 90 mm for both operations to reduce the stock costs.
    Because they can use 90 mm for both operations, but they can't use the 70 mm for knee operations.

Thickness: The distance between the top and the bottom of the stainless steel.

  • The thickness is determined by the thickness of cutting guide. And the cutting guide space thickness is changing according to the prosthesis (implants) brand. The doctors decide the thickness according the prosthesis brand of the cutting guide that they use or according to the process related the surgery.
  • The blade thickness shouldn't be so much thinner than cutting guide, because the blade can move in the cutting guide while oscilating process. And also the blade thickness shouldn't be thicker than the cutting guide, Because the blade can rub to the cutting guide or the blade may not get in to the cutting guide.
  • Most common thicknesses are 1,00 mm, 1,20 mm and 1,27 mm or 1,30 mm for large bone blade.
    For hip operations, the common thickness is 1,27 mm if they are not use the cutting guide.
