Olivecrona Gigli Saw wire x3 twist 70cm

Clinical Application

This flexible, twisted wire saw is designed for controlled transection of bone in procedures where a linear cutting path must be passed around or beneath osseous structures. Common uses include cranial bone flap division, small-bone osteotomies, amputations, and bone cuts in confined or hard-to-reach sites where rigid oscillating saws are impractical. The wire is used with a standard Gigli saw handle to apply reciprocal motion and controlled tension for precise, low-profile bone division while minimizing collateral soft-tissue disruption.

Design & Configuration

The x3 twist configuration denotes a three-strand twisted cable construction that provides a continuous cutting surface with enhanced flexibility. This geometry permits the wire to be routed around curved bone surfaces and through narrow corridors while maintaining cutting efficiency and resistance to kinking. At 70 cm length the cable offers sufficient reach to encircle medium-sized bones or to access deeper anatomy without excessive slack, facilitating secure engagement with standard handles for manual reciprocation.

Material & Construction

Constructed as a multi-strand twisted stainless steel cable to balance flexibility and cutting performance. The twisted-wire format provides a continuous cutting edge along the cable length while resisting fraying under tension. Designed for sterilization and repeated use in accordance with facility processing protocols.
