Olivecrona Gigli Saw wire x3 twist 60cm

Clinical Application

Flexible, manually actuated wire for controlled bone sectioning. Commonly used in neurosurgery (craniotomy bone flap removal), orthopedics (osteotomy and amputation), maxillofacial procedures, and any situation requiring a thin, flexible sawing element to pass around bone or through limited access corridors. The wire permits tight, precise cuts with minimal bone loss when used with standard gigli handles or as a two-operator freehand technique.

Design & Configuration

The triple-strand (x3) twisted construction provides multiple cutting edges and improved torsional strength versus single-strand wire, helping maintain cutting efficiency and reducing the likelihood of breakage during reciprocating tension. The 60 cm length offers extended reach for larger bone circumferences or when routing the wire around deeper or awkwardly positioned anatomy. The thin, flexible profile allows the wire to conform closely to curved surfaces for controlled, uniform bone removal.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Gigli saw wire
• Pattern / model: Olivecrona
• Configuration: x3 twist (triple-strand twisted wire)
• Length: 60 cm
• Typical surgical use: Osteotomy, craniotomy, amputations, controlled bone sectioning
• Material: Multi-strand stainless steel

Material & Construction

Constructed from multi-strand stainless steel formed into a twisted cutting wire to balance flexibility and strength. The twisted geometry increases the number of active cutting facets while maintaining the wire's ability to be routed around bone. Designed for manual reciprocation under controlled tension.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
