==Surgical Cutting Tool Having A Plurality Of Protuberances And Method Of Manufacturing The Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240041474 titled 'Surgical Cutting Tool Having A Plurality Of Protuberances And Method Of Manufacturing The Same

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a surgical cutting bur, which is a tool used in surgical procedures. The bur consists of a shaft with a cutting head at one end. The cutting head has an arcuate shape and multiple protuberances that extend outward from its surface. These protuberances are designed to engage and remove material when the bur is rotated by a powered surgical handpiece. Each protuberance has at least one cutting edge.

* The surgical cutting bur is a tool used in surgical procedures.
* It consists of a shaft with a cutting head at one end.
* The cutting head has an arcuate shape and multiple protuberances.
* The protuberances extend outward from the surface of the cutting head.
* The protuberances are designed to engage and remove material.
* The bur is rotated by a powered surgical handpiece.
* Each protuberance has at least one cutting edge.

Potential applications of this technology:
* Surgical procedures requiring the removal of material, such as bone or tissue.
* Dentistry procedures involving the shaping or removal of tooth material.
* Orthopedic surgeries involving the removal of bone or cartilage.

Problems solved by this technology:
* Provides a more efficient and precise method of material removal during surgery.
* Reduces the risk of damage to surrounding tissues or structures.
* Allows for better control and maneuverability during surgical procedures.

Benefits of this technology:
* Increased efficiency and accuracy in surgical procedures.
* Reduced risk of complications or damage to surrounding tissues.
* Improved control and maneuverability for surgeons.
* Potentially shorter surgical procedure times.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a surgical cutting bur includes a shaft extending between proximal and distal ends. a cutting head is coupled to the distal end of the shaft. the cutting head includes a body including an outer surface having an arcuate configuration and a plurality of protuberances each extending outwardly from the body. the protuberances are configured to engage and remove material when the surgical cutting bur is rotated by a powered surgical handpiece. each of the plurality of protuberances defines at least one cutting edge. a method of manufacturing the surgical cutting bur includes the steps of sintering a powdered metal alloy and forming the body with the plurality of protuberances extending therefrom.
