Clinical Application
Flexible wire saws are used to perform controlled bone sectioning when a powered saw is impractical or when access is limited. This twin (x2) twisted Gigli saw is appropriate for craniotomy bone cuts, selected orthopedic osteotomies, amputations and other procedures requiring a thin, flexible cutting element that can be passed around bone and drawn manually with handles for precise, low‑profile sectioning.
Design & Configuration
The double‑twist configuration provides a continuous cutting surface along the length of each strand while maintaining flexibility to negotiate narrow or curved corridors around bone. A 60 cm overall length gives sufficient reach for most cranial and extremity applications while remaining manageable for controlled two‑handed sawing with standard Gigli saw handles. Selling as a twin set (x2) supplies an immediate backup or allows staged use during procedures.

Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical‑grade stainless steel wire to provide a balance of cutting performance, tensile strength and corrosion resistance. The twisted‑strand construction preserves cutting action while retaining flexibility required to pass around bone. Designed for reprocessing and repeated use when cleaned and sterilized according to institutional protocols; inspect wires for straightness and wear before reuse.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
