Types of bone cutters
These are a few commonly used bone cutters in medical practices:
Reciprocating- provides controllable and smooth cuts into the bone such as rib cutting and skull cutting. A Sternal saw is one of this kind.
Unpowered- provides measurable and accurate cuts in delicate surgeries such as knee surgery. Some examples include Gigli saw, sabre saw, and hacksaw
Costotome- used greatly to gain access to the thoracic cavity and is therefore a specialized rib cutter
Sonic- uses high amplitude and high-frequency sound for removing material
