Olivecrona Gigli Saw wire x3 twist 30cm

Clinical Application

Designed for manual bone cutting where a thin, flexible cutting element is required. Commonly used for cranial vault craniotomies, mandibular and maxillofacial osteotomies, percutaneous long-bone osteotomies, removal of bone segments and controlled sectioning in confined or curved anatomical spaces. Ideal when oscillating or powered saws cannot be positioned or when a low-profile approach limits soft-tissue retraction.

Design & Configuration

The triple-twisted (x3) braid geometry provides multiple cutting edges distributed along the wire while maintaining flexibility and resistance to kinking. The 30 cm length balances reach and tactile control, permitting passage around bone or through limited exposures and attachment to standard Gigli saw handles for a two-handed reciprocating technique. The thin profile minimizes additional soft-tissue exposure compared with bulkier saw blades.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Gigli saw wire
• Pattern / model: Olivecrona
• Configuration: x3 twist (triple-twisted braid)
• Length: 30 cm
• Typical surgical use: Controlled bone sectioning in cranial, maxillofacial and orthopedic procedures

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel formed into a triple-twisted braid to provide uniform cutting action and improved resistance to deformation during use. The braided construction offers a balance of flexibility and tensile strength appropriate for manual reciprocating cutting techniques.

Quality & Compliance
