Olivecrona Gigli Saw wire x3 twist 40cm

Clinical Application

Flexible manual bone-cutting wire for controlled transection of cortical and cancellous bone in procedures where powered saws are impractical or where access is limited. Common applications include craniotomy bone flap creation, craniofacial and maxillofacial osteotomies, extremity osteotomies and through-amputation bone division. The flexible profile allows the wire to be routed around curved or awkward anatomy and used with handheld Gigli handles for reciprocal sawing motion.

Design & Configuration

The triple-twist (x3 twist) loop terminations provide a secure attachment point for Gigli-style handles and distribute tension across the loop to reduce slippage during sawing. The 40 cm working length balances reach and control for most neurosurgical and general surgical indications, permitting passage around bone segments without excessive excess wire. The flexible wire geometry enables contour-following cuts and minimizes the need for wide surgical exposure.
