  • INTEGRATED CUTTING GUIDE AND SURGICAL SAW BLADE ASSEMBLY, THE CUTTING GUIDE INCLUDING A MOVEABLE HEAD THAT CONSTRAINS THE MOVEMENT OF THE BLADE ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20170135703
    Abstract: A surgical sagittal saw blade assembly and cutting guide for use with the blade assembly. The blade assembly includes a static bar from which a moving blade head protrudes. The blade head is reciprocated by a drive link internal to the bar. The cutting guide has a body that is positioned adjacent where the blade is to be used to cut tissue. The cutting guide has an outer surface over which the blade assembly is positioned. The cutting guide has a constraining feature. The constraining feature holds the blade bar to the body of the guide so the blade assembly can move over the body while being constrained from movement above the outer surface of the body. The constraining feature is mounted to the body of the cutting guide so as to be able to move while constraining guide retains the blade bar.
