No surprise in the cutting block
ACF guarantees equal thickness at every point on the blade surface.
This allows to obtain a smooth area in the cutting.
AISI 420B / EN 1.4028
hardened cold tempered stainless steel
Product quality begins with the raw material
So choosing of the trusted/certified materials is essential.
ISO 11607-1: Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices
This system provides excellent barrier properties against oxygen, water vapour, light and aromas and an environment that protects the device from external contamination
Following tests are repeated at each raw material purchase.
The latest technology on sterilization
Gamma is the most guaranteed sterilization method in the medical sector. Radiation leaves no residue on the sterilized product. Products do not need to be kept in quarantine to check the effectiveness of sterilization.
Users are protected
Rounded edges prevent any injury to users’ hands while the blade is attached or removed from surgical power tool.
For this reason, ACF processes the blades through a surface finishing process to remove sharp edges after laser cutting.
Smoothest and precisest cuts
ACF saw blades are protected their sharpness from the first to the last cut in an operation.
This provides a smooth cut area and minimizes heating with shorter cutting time.
Hardest and softest balance ever
The hardness of raw material prevents the blade from bending, when a saw blade contacts the hard bone surface in the cutting process.

Reusable Device : Reusable medical devices are devices that health care providers can reprocess and reuse on multiple patients.
As we are ACF Medical, we are producing surgical saw blades for single-use. (Not reprocessable)
All product quality tests are made for single using.
The reprocesses of saw blades (if the procedures required in reprocesses are strictly followed) are more longer and costly than the new product manufacturing process. The saw blade loses its performance in 10-15 cuts (approximately 1 operation). Because the saw blade teeth are damaged a lot while cutting bone due to friction.

If a disposable device will be used a second time, its performance needs to be proven.
The manufacturer or authorized companies/institutions can reprocess the device.
If cutting process is performed with a blunt blade, the friction time and therefore the heat generated in the bone will increase as the blade cannot effectively cut the bone.
This will cause thermal burns and will be lengthen the patient’s recovery time.
Another hazard is the accumulation of tissues and proteins of the previous patient among the burrs formed in the teeth after using a blade.
If there is no effective cleaning, disinfection and sterilization, these substances are likely to pass to the next patient.
