Charriere Amputation saw 30cm

Clinical Application

This handheld amputation saw is intended for use in surgical limb amputations and other procedures requiring controlled bone transection. It is used by orthopedic and trauma surgeons to divide long bones and to complete surgical amputations where rapid, controlled cutting of osseous structures is required. The instrument's length and rigidity support precise alignment and steady progression during incremental cuts, helping to reduce operative time and improve control in deep or bulky soft-tissue envelopes.

Design & Configuration

The straight-profile, 30 cm design provides extended reach and mechanical leverage, which is advantageous when working around proximal limb segments or through substantial soft tissue. The geometry supports a stable, two-handed or one-handed stroking technique and maintains blade alignment during bone transection. A coarse blade profile is typical for amputation saws to facilitate efficient cutting of cortical bone while allowing the surgeon to modulate cutting speed and pressure for controlled progression.
