Clinical Application
A manual bone saw intended for transverse bone division during limb amputation and related orthopedic resections. The 30 cm blade length provides additional reach and leverage for proximal and distal limb procedures in trauma, vascular, oncologic and elective amputation cases. It is used in hospital operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers and other surgical environments where controlled manual sawing is required to complete bone transection prior to stump shaping and closure.
Design & Configuration
The straight, handheld configuration delivers a stable, familiar platform for controlled back-and-forth sawing motions under direct visualization. The 30 cm overall blade length balances reach and tactile feedback, helping the operator maintain line of cut and leverage on larger limbs while preserving control in tighter surgical fields. The instrument’s geometry facilitates coordinated use with assistants and standard bone-holding/retraction techniques during amputation procedures.
