Olivecrona Gigli Saw wire x4 twist 50cm

Clinical Application

This flexible cutting cable is intended for controlled bone sectioning where a low‑profile, hand‑powered saw is preferred. Common uses include creation and removal of cranial bone flaps during craniotomy, limited osteotomies, sternotomy and amputations, or cutting small cortical bone in confined or deep surgical corridors. The manual reciprocating motion provides tactile feedback and minimizes thermal damage to bone, making it suitable when precise, atraumatic bone division is required.

Design & Configuration

The quadruple (x4) twisted configuration combines flexibility with longitudinal strength: the multiple twisted strands present cutting edges while maintaining cable integrity under tension. The 50 cm working length gives reach into deeper operative fields and allows the wire to be routed around irregular bone contours. The wire is intended for use with standard Gigli saw handles or equivalent hand‑powered holders to convert manual reciprocation into an efficient sawing action. The low profile of the cable enables bone cutting through narrow soft‑tissue windows with minimal retraction.
