Abstract
The influence of irrigation on bone cutting was determined by measurin g the biomechanical performance of a bone cutting saw during irrigatio n with various solutions. Solutions of 0.9% saline and 10, 20, and 30% poloxamer-188 were used as the irrigant. a 10% solution of poloxamer- 188 was judged to be the superior irrigant because it successfully mai ntained bone temperature are a controlled level without interfering wi th the rate of bone removal.
