View Edit Delete	CES-16	The oscillating surgical saw blade 200 may include one or more apertures 220 which may extend through the saw blade 200 between the front and back sides 202, 204. The oscillating surgical saw blade 200 can include a plurality of cutting teeth 230.	75	Added by DJM 9 2021	9/2/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	CES-16	Referring to FIGs. 21 and 25, the cutting tooth 230 inside the detail circle 25 is offset away from the top (free end) of the oscillating surgical saw blade 200 relative to the top cutting tooth in the other row; the offset may be equal to the width of the tooth. Each cutting tooth 230 may be angled or bent so that the free end (the cutting edge 232) of the cutting tooth 230 protrudes outwardly from the remainder of the saw blade 200. The cutting teeth 230 are shown protruding outwardly from the back side 204. Each cutting tooth 230 may include one or more bevels 234 along the front side of the tooth, which may sharpen the tooth for cutting along the back side.	86	Added by DJM 9 2021	9/2/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	CES-16	Referring to FIGS. 25-26, the aperture width 222 may be a percentage of the cutting tooth height 224 of an adjacent cutting tooth 230. The percentage may be 70% to 115%. In some embodiments, the percentage may be 75% ± 5%, 80% ± 5%, 85% ± 5%, 90% ± 5%, 95% ± 5%, 100% ± 5%, 105% ± 5%, 110% ± 5%, or any other range within 70% to 115%. Saw blade 200 is shown with eight apertures 220 and cutting teeth 230 arranged in two columns of four apertures/teeth. The rows may be staggered as shown so that the cutting teeth 230 in adjacent rows are offset for maximum cutting coverage.	85	Added by DJM 9 2021	9/2/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	CES-16	Referring now to FIGS. 7, 9, 21, and 23, the oscillating surgical saw blade 200 may include apertures 220 and/or cutting teeth 230 organized into rows and columns. The oscillating surgical saw blade 200 has fewer columns and rows than the surgical saw blade 100 embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 9. Furthermore, the apertures 220 of the oscillating surgical saw blade 200 can be described as rectangular apertures because of their generally rectangular shape. In one embodiment, each rectangular aperture 220 may be 70% to 115% of a height of an associated cutting tooth 230.	84	Added by DJM 9 2021	9/2/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	CES-16	FIGS. 19-24 illustrate a top view, front view, right view, back view, and bottom view respectively of the oscillating surgical saw blade 200 of FIG. 15, according to one embodiment. In the illustrated embodiment, of FIGS. 19-24, the front side 202 and opposite back side 204 are the broadest sides of the oscillating surgical saw blade 200. While not necessarily drawn to scale, FIGS. 19-24 illustrate that the front side 202 and back side 204 are broader than the top side 206, bottom side 208, right side 210, and/or left side 212.	83	Added by DJM 9 2021	9/2/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	CES-16	FIGS. 17-18 illustrate enlarged detail of a cutting tooth of the oscillating surgical saw blade 200 of FIG. 15, as indicated by detail circle 17 of FIG. 15 and enlarged detail view of the cutting tooth from a different direction, as indicated by detail circle 18 of FIG. 16, according to one embodiment. FIGS. 17-18 illustrate details of an aperture 220, cutting tooth 230, cutting edge 232, and a bevel 234.	82	Added by DJM 9 2021	9/2/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	CES-16	Referring to FIGS. 15-16, the saw blade 200 may include one or more features for connection to a powered handpiece (saw), handle, etc. Oscillating surgical saw blade 200 is shown with a group of saw connection features 260, including a notch 262 that extends into the saw blade 200 through the bottom side 208 and a semi-circular array of rectangular apertures 264 arranged around the deepest portion of the notch 262. The illustrated group of saw connection features 262, 264 is one example of a blade/saw interconnection. Notch 262 may be identical to notch 162, apertures 264 may be identical to apertures 164, and the blade/saw interconnections shown for saw blades 100, 200 may be identical so that saw blades 100, 200 may be used interchangeably with a powered saw handpiece, etc.	81	Added by DJM 9 2021	9/2/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	CES-16	Because the cutting teeth 230 extend from the back side 204 and from no other side of the oscillating surgical saw blade 200. The front side 202, back side 204, top side 206, and bottom side 208 are non-cutting sides. An oscillating surgical saw blade 200 with a single direction cutting side (e.g., back side 204) and the remaining sides non-cutting sides can help a surgeon by enabling the oscillating surgical saw blade 200 to be positionable in confined spaces around tissue that the surgeon does not want to cut and to contact targeted tissue with the single direction cutting side for very precise and targeted resection of tissue. Having an oscillating surgical saw blade 200 with a one of its six sides being a single direction cutting side and the five remaining sides being non-cutting sides enables the surgeon to position and maneuver the oscillating surgical saw blade 200 for very exact resection procedures on tissue.	80	Added by DJM 9 2021	9/2/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	CES-16	An oscillating surgical saw blade 200 with a single direction cutting side can provide a surgeon more precise control of when, and where, and in which direction, the oscillating surgical saw blade 200 will cut or resect tissue (e.g., hard or soft tissue). Having a back side 204 as a single direction cutting side can be advantageous because the back side 204 has a greater surface area than the top side 206, bottom side 208, right side 210, and/or left side 212. The greater surface area can facilitate larger planar cuts of tissue.	79	Added by DJM 9 2021	9/2/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	CES-16	In the illustrated embodiment, the cutting teeth 230 extend from the back side 204 and from no other side of the oscillating surgical saw blade 200. Consequently, the back side 204 is a single direction cutting side. A single direction cutting side is a side of a structure that is configured to cut tissue, but generally cuts the tissue when the structure moves in a single direction and does not cut, or at least does not cut as effectively, in other directions.	78	Added by DJM 9 2021	9/2/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	CES-16	In one embodiment, a plurality of cutting teeth 230 may be connected to the back side 204. In one embodiment, each cutting tooth 230 includes a cutting edge 232 oriented, or directed, toward a common side. In one embodiment, the common side is the right side 210. In another embodiment, the common side is the left side 212. Having the cutting edge 232 of each cutting tooth 230 directed towards a single side, the common side means that the cutting teeth 230 will cut in a single direction. If the cutting edge 232 of each cutting tooth 230 is directed towards the right side 210, the cutting teeth 230 will cut when the cutting teeth 230 are moved in the direction of the right side 210. If the cutting edge 232 of each cutting tooth 230 is directed towards the left side 212, the cutting teeth 230 will cut when the cutting teeth 230 are moved in the direction of the left side 212.	77	Added by DJM 9 2021	9/2/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	CES-16	In one embodiment, each aperture can be shaped to form a cutting tooth 230. Alternatively, each aperture 220 is adjacent to a cutting tooth 230. Each aperture 220 may be sized relative to its cutting tooth 230 to be large enough to allow cutting debris to evacuate from the back side 204 through the aperture toward the front side 202.	76	Added by DJM 9 2021	9/2/21, 12:00 AM
