Satterlee Amputation Saw 31cm

Clinical Application

Designed for rapid bone transection during major limb amputation and related orthopedic procedures, this long-blade amputation saw facilitates controlled, full-thickness cuts of long bones in above- and below-knee amputations, forequarter or shoulder-level amputations, and other trauma-related resections. The extended blade length supports long, continuous strokes that help maintain a straight cut and minimize repeated passes through bone.

Design & Configuration

The saw's straight blade geometry and 31 cm length provide extended reach and a long cutting arc, which is clinically useful for producing clean, even bone surfaces during major amputations. An ergonomically contoured, hand-held design improves operator control and hand placement for both single-surgeon and two-surgeon techniques. The overall configuration is intended to reduce binding and allow efficient transfer of manual force through the blade for predictable cutting behavior.

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance, the instrument is designed for repeated use and routine decontamination. Blade hardness and edge geometry are optimized for manual sawing of dense cortical bone while maintaining structural rigidity along the extended length. The handle design prioritizes a secure grip during wet-field procedures and repeated cycles of sterilization.

Quality & Compliance

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