The Vita-Saw is an unlockable melee weapon for the Medic class. It appears as a rusty gas pump handle with a long needle, a knife under the needle, and a container with some liquid on top.
The weapon takes 10 health away from its user, but retains 20% of the Medic's current ÜberCharge if he dies. For example, if a Medic dies with 40% ÜberCharge, they will respawn with 8% ÜberCharge.

Trivia
- It very closely resembles the large needle syringe carried around by the Little Sisters from the game BioShock. Its name is also similar to the Vita-Chamber from the same game, a device which resurrect individuals who die in their vicinity.
- A small "skull and bones" symbol has been scratched into the blade of the saw, with eight tally marks next to it.
- This weapon houses the possible in-joke of Medic being a Little Sister and Heavy being the Big Daddy. The stats of the weapon help this claim by making the Medic a little more dependent on a teammate due to lower health.
- The liquid within the vial on the back is jiggleboned, which means that it will swirl around in the vial as the Medic moves.
- The Vita-Saw is randomly available through Mann Co. Supply Crates which are dropped in game by drop system.
- The Vita-Saw's design seems to be an amalgam of the Medic's Übersaw, Syringe Gun (barrel), and the Medic's beta needle weapon.
- Currently, the Vita-Saw has the same taunt as the Bonesaw, where he plays the weapon like a violin. Due to the needle, it appears as though he is stabbing himself in the neck.
- If a Medic actives his ÜberCharge, but dies while its activated, as long as the Charge does not dip below 19%, he will retain that 19%.
- Contrary to the weapons's description, the max ÜberCharge kept is 19%.
- The ÜberCharge will be kept even if you change teams, however it will be lost if you change classes.
