Stablecut blades create surgical control STABLECUT - Orthopedic Gold Standard

STABLECUT® Technology for Reconstructive Procedures

Why is STABLECUT® the Gold Standard in surgical saw blades?

STABLECUT® patented tooth configuration creates surgical control:
• Tracking on the intended path of the surgeon
• Stabilizing the erratic motion of the power saw
• Producing less heat during bone resection
• Minimizes soft tissue damage and the potential of thermal necrosis in living bone

Pneumatic and battery operated oscillating hand pieces provide the power to perform bone resections, but it is the blade that effects the control and precision when bone and cartilage tissue are resected in reconstructive surgery.

The STABLECUT® cutting end is perpendicular to the length of the blade with a supporting tooth profile. This creates a cutting action that centers the contact between the blade and the bone within the arc of oscillation.

Regardless of the path guided by the surgeon, STABLECUT® technology reduces the erratic motion of the oscillating saw, assuring surgical control in a restricted joint space, optimal for MIS procedures. The cutting action of STABLECUT® also reduces the pressure imparted by the surgeon during a resection, minimizing friction and excessive heat. In fact, surgeons using STABLECUT® report a decrease in hand fatigue!

Introducing STABLECUT® GTS
We have recently enhanced Stablecut patented precision technology, STABLECUT® GTS (Ground Tooth Set) design allows for increased debris relief, channeling bone fragments away from the cutting action thus decreasing skiving. By using flat, thick material for the body, grinding and offsetting the teeth, optimal cutting performance, and a smooth clean cut is achieved. In fact, surgeons using STABLECUT® GTS report they are able to effectively manage an increasing procedure schedule with minimal surgical fatigue.

Benefits of GTS
• Increased Debris Relief - channels bone fragments away from the cutting action
• Less Skiving
• Smooth, Clean Cut

FAQs
FAQ QuestionThe surgeon is complaining that the blade has "too much play" or has a "sloppy fit" in the cutting guide. I am using a blade of the recommended thickness for the specific implant. What should I do?

FAQ AnswerSloppy fit. After time and use, the cutting guide slots become wider due to the wear and tear of the blades passing through. In order to maintain a "snug fit" we recommend the next level of thickness for the blade. Be sure to check that the thicker blade will pass through the slot before surgery.

FAQ QuestionWhat does toothset or offset mean?

FAQ AnswerToothset. Toothset blades have teeth that are bent in an alternating vertical pattern creating pathways for debris. These pathways also allow for a more aggressive cut.

FAQ QuestionWhat is the difference between ribbed and flat blades?

FAQ AnswerRibbed vs. Flat. Ribbed blades have stamped longitudinal formations in the blade material that increase rigidity and improve debris clearance. Flat blades or less aggressive blades are solid in material and more flexible.
