Stablecut blades create surgical control

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, we have achieved optimal cutting performance, successfully creating a smooth clean cut. In fact, surgeons using STABLECUT® GTS report they been 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
The 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?

Sloppy 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.

The current blade we use doesn't match a Stablecut® blade's exact dimension (length, width). Does an equivalent blade exist?

Blade Match. Yes. Being an expert in surgical saw blades, we have designed every blade with patterns to work for specific procedures. When you are searching for a blade by dimension, click on the blade detail screen to ensure that the blade you are matching is recommended for the procedure and will fit the implant the surgeon is using.

What does toothset or offset mean?

Toothset. 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.

What is the difference between ribbed and flat blades?

Ribbed 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.

Why are there holes in some of the blades?

Holes in the blade. These lightening holes are designed in certain blades to reduce the swing weight of the blade thereby allowing for more consistent oscillation. These holes also you to see the bone through the blade.
