tplo saws
Slocum TPLO blades create a patented bi radial cut which means that the tibial plateau segment fits the distal tibia section exactly with maximum bone contact.

The Vi TPLO air driven saw is based on the very robust and reliable Halls Sternum Saw. As such it takes the industry standard Halls Hose, the same as the Surgairtome and the Halls range of saws and drills.
The blade hub rotates back and forth 6 degrees. As the blade diameter increases this 6 degrees will move the teeth on the saw a greater distance. You will find, therefore, that the bigger blades cut more efficiently than the smaller ones. In addition, where the patient is small the tibia has a relatively low inertia and will therefore be moved back and forth by the blade further reducing the cutting efficiency. It is suggested that the tibia be supported by a sandbag to minimise this effect.
