Olivecrona Gigli Saw wire x2 twist 50cm

Clinical Application

Flexible wire saw used for controlled bone sectioning where rigid oscillating saws are impractical or where access is limited. Common applications include craniotomy bone flap release, peripheral osteotomies, removal of small bone segments, and other procedures requiring thin-profile, controllable cuts across cortical bone. The flexible geometry enables passage around curved or confined bone margins and allows cutting from within narrow surgical corridors.

Design & Configuration

The double-twist (x2 twist) configuration provides paired cutting edges along a flexible core, delivering balanced cutting action and improved resistance to unwinding during use. At 50 cm overall length the wire offers sufficient reach for most cranial and commonly encountered orthopedic applications while remaining easy to manipulate through slotted handles or around bone. The flexible, low-profile wire allows surgeons to place the cutting line precisely and apply controlled reciprocal motion for smooth, predictable bone sectioning.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Gigli saw wire
• Pattern / model: Olivecrona
• Configuration: x2 twist (double-twist)
• Length: 50 cm
• Typical uses: Craniotomies, osteotomies, confined-space bone cutting
• Material: Surgical-grade stainless steel wire

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel formed into a double-twist cutting wire to combine flexibility with cutting strength. The twisted geometry produces multiple effective cutting edges along the length of the wire while maintaining tensile durability for reciprocal sawing motions. The wire is suitable for standard sterilization processes used for reusable surgical instruments.

Quality & Compliance

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