Army Regulation Amputation Saw 23cm

Clinical Application

Manual bone sawing for major limb amputations, controlled bone resections and emergency/field procedures where powered instrumentation is unavailable or impractical. The 23 cm length provides reach and mechanical leverage for transecting long bones and performing straight cortical cuts during primary amputation, guillotine amputation or definitive stump preparation. The instrument is intended for use by surgeons and trained operative staff who require a reliable, low‑complexity tool for bone division and intraoperative trimming.

Design & Configuration

The straight hand-held geometry with a coarse-tooth blade delivers direct force transmission and predictable cutting behavior through cortical bone. A rigid blade profile maintains a true cutting line, reducing tendency to wander in dense bone. The Army regulation pattern prioritizes simplicity and robustness—suitable for rapid, controlled strokes and for procedures where tactile feedback and manual control are preferred over powered saws.
