Satterlee Amputation Saw 31cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled transverse sectioning of long bones during major limb amputations and disarticulations. The instrument is intended for open surgical procedures where a manual saw is preferred or required — for example in trauma, vascular, oncologic, or staged amputation cases. Its manual operation provides direct tactile feedback to the surgeon for precise bone cuts and controlled osteotomy planes.

Design & Configuration

The straight, hand-held geometry provides a long cutting profile that enables single-pass transverse cuts with minimal repositioning. The 31 cm length increases reach and leverage for proximal-level osteotomies while preserving surgeon control and tactile feel. The rigid construction and balanced handling reduce blade wobble and help maintain a consistent cutting trajectory during bone sectioning.
