ABSTRACT:
An improved aerosolized bone dust and body fluid extraction system for an oscillating or reciprocating saw includes a water line, control valve and inlet nozzle to spray water into the area in and around an oscillating or reciprocating saw blade and an exhaust manifold to aid in the removal of aerosolized bone dust and body fluids during cutting. Additionally, the end of the housing holding the oscillating or reciprocating saw blade may be provided with a vented elongated shaped skirt member for guarding against splatter of aerosolized bone dust and body fluids and for acting against the surface being cut by the saw blade so as to improve the efficiency of the exhaust system and prevent the spread of aerosolized bone dust and body fluids to thereby prevent the spread of toxic materials and/or communicable diseases.
