Abstract
A sagittal saw blade with a blade body the distal end of which has spaced apart tines. Plural teeth extend forward from each of the tines. The void space between the tines functions as a chip catchment into which bone chips formed by cutting by the blade are able to flow. At least one web extends between the tines, across the chip catchment.
