Olivecrona Gigli Saw wire x4 twist 40cm

Clinical Application

Provides a manually operated cutting element for controlled osteotomies and bone sectioning where a narrow, flexible saw is required. Commonly employed in neurosurgical craniotomies, craniofacial and maxillofacial osteotomies, rib or small-bone resections, and other procedures where a wire saw can be passed around bony structures to produce a smooth, controllable cut.

Design & Configuration

The four-strand twisted construction (x4 twist) produces a robust, braided cutting surface that balances flexibility with cutting engagement. The braided geometry resists kinking and spreads load across multiple strands to reduce the risk of single-strand failure during reciprocal sawing motions. A 40 cm length gives sufficient reach to loop around many anatomical targets while remaining short enough for precise manual control. The wire is intended to be used with standard Gigli saw handles or wire holders to convert linear pulling motions into efficient bone cutting.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Gigli saw wire
• Pattern / model: Olivecrona
• Configuration: x4 twist (four‑strand twisted wire)
• Length: 40 cm
• Typical surgical use: Manual osteotomy and bone sectioning in neurosurgery, maxillofacial and orthopedic procedures
• Material / construction: Twisted stainless steel wire

Material & Construction

Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel in a multi-strand twisted braid to provide flexibility, strength, and cutting durability. The x4 twist pattern enhances strand redundancy and wear distribution compared with single-strand wires, improving resistance to fraying and deformation under tension.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
