Bone grinding with miniature ball-end diamond wheels, called diamond burs by surgeons, is widely used for surgical resection of bones. During bone resection, a considerable amount of grinding heat is generated, which can cause thermal injury to adjacent tissues, including nerves. To address this problem, several types of countermeasures such as irrigation, namely coolant supplying methods, have been developed; however, the existing measures cannot suppress the excessive heat generation. In our previous studies, we investigated the characteristics of bone grinding and revealed that strong adhesion of bone swarf on the wheel surface promoted the temperature increase at the grinding point. To prevent the adhesion, we proposed two types of diamond wheels, namely, titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles deposited wheels and trifluoromethyl surface-treated wheels and found that such wheels reduced the grinding-induced temperature elevation. In the experiments, the supply rate of saline as coolant was set to 180 mL/h, which is typically adopted in surgery. However, the supply rate leads to a poor operative visibility, and therefore the supply rate is strongly required to be reduced for improving the visibility. To meet the requirement, the grinding performances of the commercial and previously-developed wheels under small quantity of coolant supply were investigated. On the basis of the findings, new diamond wheels with hydrophobic porous surface were developed. These wheels significantly and stably suppressed bone temperature elevation compared to the commercial and previously-developed wheels under small quantity of coolant supply.
