Charriere Amputation Saw 27cm

Clinical Application

This hand amputation saw is intended for controlled bone transection during limb amputations and related surgical procedures. It is used in operating rooms and emergency settings for guillotine and definitive amputations where rapid, reliable bone cutting is required. The 27 cm length provides sufficient reach and leverage for adult extremity work while allowing precise cuts across long bones.

Design & Configuration

The straight, hand-held configuration gives the surgeon direct tactile feedback and control over stroke depth and direction—important for producing an even bone cut and minimizing soft tissue trauma. A rigid blade profile reduces flex during aggressive strokes, improving cutting efficiency and accuracy. The blade geometry is intended to facilitate rapid removal of bone while permitting careful, deliberate transections when required.
