A sternum saw blade is a reusable surgical instrument designed to cut through the breastbone (sternum) during open-heart procedures. Attached to a powered saw, it uses rapid motion to enable precise, controlled incisions during cardiovascular surgeries like bypass operations or valve replacements.
These blades are typically regulated as surgical tools, often requiring compliance with medical device safety standards. They are supplied as part of a complete saw system and must meet durability and performance criteria for repeated use in sterile environments.
