Olivecrona Gigli Saw wire x3 twist 50cm

Clinical Application

This flexible wire saw is designed for controlled manual bone transection where a thin, pliable cutting element is required. It is commonly used in craniotomy and craniofacial procedures, selected orthopedic osteotomies and amputations, and other surgical situations where a wire can be passed around bone or through limited access windows to perform a circumferential cut with minimal soft‑tissue disruption. The wire's flexibility allows it to conform to curved bone surfaces and to be routed around structures that are inaccessible with rigid saws.

Design & Configuration

The triple‑twist (x3) configuration provides a balance of cutting efficiency and torsional strength: multiple twisted strands create repetitive cutting edges along the wire while maintaining flexibility to bend around contours. The 50 cm length offers reach for typical cranial and extremity applications while remaining manageable for two‑handed reciprocal motion. The construction minimizes kinking and facilitates consistent bite during back-and-forth sawing actions.
