Clinical Application
Designed as a replacement cutting blade for Charrière amputation saws, this 18 mm spare blade is intended for controlled bone transection in amputation procedures and focused bone resections in orthopaedic and trauma settings. The blade’s width supports a narrow kerf for precise cuts where preservation of surrounding soft tissue and controlled bone removal are important (e.g., transtibial, transfemoral, upper‑extremity amputations and limited osteotomies).
Design & Configuration
The 18 mm cutting width provides a balance between cutting efficiency and a narrow kerf to improve visibility at the osteotomy site and reduce unnecessary bone loss. As a direct replacement blade for Charrière amputation saws, it is configured for quick fitment to the saw’s blade mount, allowing rapid exchange in the operative setting. The blade geometry is optimized for straight translational sawing motions commonly used during amputations.
