Clinical Application
This hand amputation saw is designed for controlled transverse sectioning of cortical bone during open amputations and select orthopedic resections. Its length and straight geometry provide reach and leverage needed for long-bone cuts in the operating room, trauma suite, or surgical center. The instrument is intended for precise manual bone removal where powered saws are not indicated or available, and for situations requiring tactile feedback during cutting.
Design & Configuration
The straight, rigid configuration with a serrated cutting edge enables predictable, transverse cuts through cortical bone. The 39 cm overall length increases reach across larger extremities and facilitates access in confined surgical fields while maintaining manual control. The hand-operated design provides tactile feedback to the surgeon for incremental cutting and reduces reliance on powered equipment in settings where speed and control must be balanced.
