  • Title: [A reciprocating saw for micro-surgery (author's transl)].
    Author: Feldmann H.
    Journal: Laryngol Rhinol Otol (Stuttg); 1977 Sep; 56(9):781-6. PubMed ID: 143575.
    Abstract:
    A reciprocating saw for osteoplastic microsurgery of the ear is presented. An electromagnetic oscillator of a common electric razor, used as motor, drives the saw with 100 oscillations per second. The amplitude of the vibrations can be adjusted by a special device within the range of 0.5 to 3 mm. The saw blades are 0.2 mm thick and not set. They perform very smooth straight cuts of 0.2 to 0.3 mm width and can easily be applied in the narrow operative field of the middle ear.
