"Bone debris" refers to particulate material generated during the cutting, shaping, or modification of bone using surgical instruments such as osteotomy blades, rasp blade, contouring blades, osteotomy rasps, saws, drills, or the like. Bone debris may include bone chips, bone dust, fragments, or other dislodged material resulting from mechanical interaction between a cutting tool or rasping tool or contouring tool and bone tissue.
In certain embodiments, bone debris may vary in size, composition, and morphology, depending on factors such as the cutting speed, tool geometry, bone density, and applied force. Bone debris may consist of cortical bone particles, cancellous bone fragments, or a combination thereof, and may accumulate at or near the cutting interface/face, and may affect cutting efficiency, visibility, and/or heat dissipation.
As used herein, "bone debris" encompasses any solid byproduct of bone modification that may require evacuation, removal, or management to maintain optimal surgical performance, ensure procedural accuracy, or facilitate bone healing. (Defined in conjunction with ChatGPT Version 4o, March 12, 2025).
