Olivecrona Gigli Saw wire x2 twist 30cm

Clinical Application

This flexible cutting wire is designed for controlled bone division in procedures where a compact, flexible saw is required. Common applications include craniotomy and craniofacial osteotomies, rib resection and thoracic procedures, amputations and limited-space orthopedic osteotomies where conventional oscillating saws cannot be used. The thin profile permits passage around bones through small incisions or tunnels, enabling precise cuts while minimizing soft-tissue retraction.

Design & Configuration

The Olivecrona pattern uses looped end-configuration to accept standard Gigli saw handles and to permit secure manual reciprocation. The x2 twist indicates a double-twisted, multi-strand construction that balances flexibility with torsional stability during back-and-forth sawing. The 30 cm length offers sufficient working span for most cranial and thoracic applications while remaining compact for use in confined surgical corridors. The flexible geometry allows the wire to conform around curved bone surfaces for controlled, evenly distributed cutting action.
