z CLEAN CUT Stryker's oscillating tip saw
gives off less "throw" for a cleaner cut.
Stryker | Precision Oscillating Tip Saw, System 7
Having used the Precision before, I was interested in checking out its
latest version, which offers the familiar features I've come to like, but
with stiffer cartridges and new sizes for more control. Unlike other
oscillating saws, only the tip of the Precision moves, giving you less
"throw" with a cleaner cut. With the new generation of the saw, a
company rep says that there's also reduced metal debris — about 84%
less than other saws. Three cartridges are available for the saw: 2 vari-
ations of a 105 mm cartridge and a new 90 mm cartridge, which
would be great for smaller procedures like shoulders. The smaller size
would also work well with disposable jigs when doing total knees,
since it would be more precise when using the guides. I can see this
saw being ideal for outpatient total joints.
