Olivecrona Gigli Saw wire x4 twist 30cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled manual bone division, this twisted wire is used to perform percutaneous or open bone cuts where a flexible, low-profile cutting element is required. Common applications include craniotomy bone flap release, craniofacial osteotomies, rib resection, and select orthopedic procedures where a Gigli-style wire is preferred to saws or power instruments. The wire allows the surgeon to encircle bone in confined or curved anatomy and deliver a controlled back-and-forth cutting action.

Design & Configuration

The multi-strand x4 twist configuration balances flexibility with cutting resilience. The twisted strands permit the wire to conform around irregular bone surfaces and through narrow corridors while maintaining torsional strength during reciprocating motion. At 30 cm length the wire provides sufficient reach for many cranial and thoracic applications while minimizing excess slack that can impede control. The design is intended for use with standard Gigli saw handles or equivalents to convert the wire into a two-handed manual cutting instrument.
