Army Regulation Amputation Saw 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled transverse transection of long bones during surgical amputation and related orthopedic procedures, this hand amputation saw is used to complete the osseous portion of an amputation after the soft tissues have been released. Its 19 cm length provides sufficient reach and control for extremity procedures in both elective and trauma settings, including forearm, lower leg and humeral level amputations. It is intended for use by surgeons and trained operative staff within a sterile field and is compatible with standard hospital sterilization workflows.

Design & Configuration

The straight hand-saw configuration facilitates direct, perpendicular cuts through cortical and cancellous bone, giving the operator tactile feedback and control of the cutting line. The overall length balances cutting reach with maneuverability in confined operative sites. A rigid, straight profile helps maintain blade alignment and predictable kerf during oscillation, improving control during the final bone division required for stump shaping and preparation.
