Olivecrona Gigli Saw wire x2 twist 70cm

Clinical Application

Flexible wire designed for controlled bone division in confined or difficult-to-reach surgical fields. Common clinical uses include cranial bone flap removal during craniotomy, long-bone and corrective osteotomies, and limb amputations where a low-profile, encircling cutting element is required. The flexible configuration allows the wire to be passed around bone segments or through narrow spaces where rigid saws cannot be used safely.

Design & Configuration

The x2 twist braided geometry provides a balance of cut aggressiveness and structural strength. The double-twist braid preserves flexibility for maneuvering around bone while maintaining a consistent cutting surface during reciprocating motion. At 70 cm length the wire offers sufficient reach to encircle larger bones or to span bilateral access points without excessive slack, aiding controlled oscillation and minimizing the risk of kinking during use. The profile is intended for use with standard Gigli saw handles to translate manual back-and-forth motion into efficient bone transection.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument: Gigli saw wire
• Model: Olivecrona
• Configuration: x2 twist braided wire
• Length: 70 cm
• Typical use: Craniotomy, osteotomy, amputations, controlled bone division
• Material: Surgical-grade stainless steel braided wire

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel in a twisted (x2) braided configuration to provide a durable cutting edge with the flexibility required for passage around bone. The braided construction reduces localized stress and helps maintain a uniform cutting action during manual reciprocation. Compatible with standard Gigli saw handles and manual wire-cutting techniques used in operative settings.

Quality & Compliance

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