Abstract
A reciprocating surgical saw blade includes a distal portion, a proximal portion, and a main body extending between the distal portion and the proximal portion. The main body includes an upper surface and a lower surface, and a first outer edge extending from the upper surface to the lower surface of the main body, and a second outer a second outer edge extending from the upper surface to the lower surface of the main body. A biocompatible polymer is provided along at least one of the upper surface, the lower surface, the first outer edge, or the second outer edge of the main body.

A reciprocating surgical saw blade comprising:
- a distal portion,
- a proximal portion,
- a main body extending from the distal portion to the proximal portion, the main body comprising
- an upper surface and a lower surface,
- a first outer edge extending from the upper surface to the lower surface of the main body, and
- a second outer edge extending from the upper surface to the lower surface of the main body,
- wherein the upper surface extends a first distance from the distal portion to the proximal portion along a longitudinal axis of the reciprocating surgical saw blade and extends a second distance from the first outer edge to the second outer edge along an additional axis that intersects the longitudinal axis,
- wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance, and
- the reciprocating surgical saw blade further comprising a biocompatible polymer on the upper surface.
A reciprocating surgical saw blade comprising:
- a distal portion,
- a proximal portion,
- a main body extending between the distal portion and the proximal portion, the main body comprising
- an upper surface and a lower surface,
- a first outer edge extending from the upper surface to the lower surface, and
- a second outer edge extending from the upper surface to the lower surface, and
- wherein the upper surface extends a first distance from the distal portion to the proximal portion along a longitudinal axis of the reciprocating surgical saw blade and extends a second distance from the first outer edge to the second outer edge along an additional axis that intersects the longitudinal axis,
- wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance,
- at least one elastic barrier running along either the first outer edge or the second outer edge of the main body of the reciprocating surgical saw blade, wherein the at least one elastic barrier is configured to dampen a force received from the reciprocating surgical saw blade when the reciprocating surgical saw blade comes into contact with a cutting guide, and
- the reciprocating surgical saw blade further comprising a biocompatible polymer on the upper surface.
