ResumoThe purpose of this study was to measure the durability of disposable saw blades using a standard bone-cutting experimental model that can be replicated in any laboratory. Using a constant cutting force, the bone-cutting efficiency was determined by recording the maximum cutting temperature and the rate of material removal. In this experimental study, porcine femurs as well as a synthetic bone substitute were used as the test samples for measuring cutting efficiency. Repeated cutting of these test materials did not significantly alter the performance of the disposable bone-cutting blades.
