"Channel" refers to a structural feature, groove, recess, pathway, opening, or passage formed in and/or between one or more teeth, cutting features and/or other structures of a cutting tool. A channel may be configured, designed, or engineered to facilitate functions including, but not limited to, evacuation or removal of debris, guiding or redirecting chips or debris away from the cutting surface, improving cutting efficiency, reducing frictional forces, enhancing cooling or lubrication, or otherwise optimizing the cutting or abrading performance of the tool. Channels may vary in shape, size, depth, and configuration based on the intended application, the nature of the material being cut, and desired tool performance characteristics. Components or tools featuring teeth that include channels may include, without limitation, wedge osteotomy blades, rasp blades, bone rasps, osteoplasty tools, saw blades, milling cutters, burrs, drills, surgical cutting tools, and similar cutting or abrading instruments.
