Patent ID: 7901424

Claim:
In combination, a surgical bone saw and a bone saw blade comprising: a) an oscillatory or sagittal bone saw; and b) a surgical saw blade having; i) a proximal end configured to couple to a surgical bone saw; ii) a distal end having at least one pair of teeth having tips for cutting bone which are configured to be adjacent to each other and to have one of the pair of teeth configured as a right triangle with a hypotenuse which is oriented at least one of towards and away from a centrally positioned axis extending between the proximal end and the distal end and the other of said pair of teeth configured as a right triangle with a hypotenuse which is oriented in a direction opposite to the hypotenuse of said one of the pair of teeth and wherein said distal end has extending from each of said pair of teeth at least one additional tooth for cutting bone which is substantially identically shaped as a right triangle including a hypotenuse and an angle opposite the hypotenuse with a hypotenuse which is oriented in the same direction as the adjacent tooth defining said pair of teeth and wherein the tips of all of the teeth are arrayed substantially on a tangent perpendicular to the centrally positioned axis and wherein the tips of the additional teeth are arrayed substantially on a tangent perpendicular to the centrally positioned long axis; wherein each of the teeth are substantially identically shaped substantially as right triangles including a hypotenuse and an angle opposite the hypotenuse, wherein each hypotenuse is oriented at least one towards and away from the centrally positioned long axis, and wherein the tips are configured to be placed substantially on a tangent which is perpendicular to a radial line extending from the center line of the power tool cutting axis that bisects the arc of travel within which the blade travels and further wherein the surgical saw blade is coupled to the oscillatory or sagittal bone saw.
