Abstract
A surgical saw blade includes a cutting edge, a proximal portion, and a body portion. The cutting edge has teeth and is substantially formed of a first material having a first thermal conductivity. The proximal portion includes a blade hub. The body portion connects the cutting edge and the proximal portion and includes a thermal transit core formed of a second material having a second thermal conductivity at least twice the first thermal conductivity. The core has a at least two longitudinally extending, core surfaces. The body portion includes at least two longitudinally extending flanking members disposed over the longitudinally extending core surfaces.
