DePuy Synthes 530.615 – Portable surgical tool for reciprocating sawing in orthopaedic and trauma surgery
The DePuy Synthes 530.615 is an integral part of the Battery Power Line II system, a platform of motorised surgical tools designed to meet the specific needs of orthopaedic and trauma procedures. This lithium-ion battery-powered device is specifically designed to perform precise bone cuts using a high-frequency reciprocating saw mechanism. Its technical design ensures consistent performance even under demanding operating conditions, while guaranteeing safety and comfort of use.
The 530.615 is used in a variety of procedures, including traumatology for the controlled cutting of bone segments, the preparation of implantation sites and the adaptation of grafts. Its high movement frequency optimises cutting speed while limiting bone heating, thereby reducing the risk of thermal necrosis. This efficiency is based on optimised mechanical transmission and a powerful motor, all in a compact and balanced format that makes it easy for the surgeon to handle.
It is powered by a 14.8 V lithium-ion battery integrated into a sterile housing, ensuring sufficient autonomy to cover the average duration of a procedure. The battery insertion system is designed to maintain asepsis in the operating theatre, with sterilisable components and a reliable locking device. The ergonomic handle and weight balance help reduce user fatigue during prolonged procedures, enabling greater precision and increased comfort.
Safety is at the heart of the 530.615 design. The device has a lock mode to prevent accidental activation, as well as a secure attachment system for the saw blades. The settings are accessible and easy to adjust, even when wearing surgical gloves. In addition, the system allows the blade orientation to be adjusted through 360° in 45° increments, offering maximum flexibility when approaching hard-to-reach surgical areas.
Compatibility with DePuy Synthes blades and accessories ensures perfect synergy between the tool and consumables, optimising cutting performance and equipment longevity. The saw blades specially designed for this model are balanced to provide smooth movement and a clean cut, reducing vibration and improving operating comfort.
Cleaning and maintenance of the 530.615 are facilitated by a modular design that allows quick removal of the battery and accessories. The device is compatible with hospital steam sterilisation protocols and automated cleaning methods using specific DePuy Synthes baskets. Regular lubrication with special Synthes oil is recommended to maintain performance and extend the life of the equipment.
The DePuy Synthes 530.615 is a reliable and high-performance alternative sawing tool designed to meet the demanding requirements of orthopaedic surgeons. Its ergonomic design, optimised autonomy, compatibility with a wide range of accessories and ease of maintenance make it an essential instrument for bone cutting procedures in the operating theatre.
