Olivecrona Gigli Saw wire x4 twist 60cm

Clinical Application

This twisted wire saw is designed for controlled bone division in open and limited-access procedures. It is commonly used to perform craniotomies, long-bone osteotomies, amputations and other orthopedic bone cuts where a flexible, low-profile cutting element is required. The wire is routed around the bone and reciprocated with a handle to produce a smooth, efficient cut while minimizing soft-tissue bulk and collateral trauma.

Design & Configuration

The four-strand (x4) twist construction provides a balance of tensile strength, cutting efficiency and flexibility. The twisted strands create multiple abrasive contact edges that cut as the wire is drawn back and forth, while the overall flexibility allows the wire to be passed easily around curved or deep-seated bone structures. The 60 cm length accommodates passage around larger bones or through surgical windows without requiring extensions, and it is intended for use with Olivecrona-style handles or rings to enable controlled reciprocation by the surgeon or assistant.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Gigli saw wire
• Pattern / model: Olivecrona
• Configuration: x4 twist (four-strand twisted)
• Length: 60 cm
• Typical surgical use: craniotomy, osteotomy, amputations, orthopedic bone cuts
• Material: twisted stainless steel wire
• Reusable: designed for sterilization and reuse

Material & Construction

The saw is constructed from twisted stainless steel strands, providing corrosion resistance and durability suitable for repeated sterilization cycles. The multi-strand twist forms multiple cutting edges along the wire length, enabling efficient cutting action with controlled reciprocation. The flexible construction permits safe routing around anatomical contours while maintaining sufficient tensile strength to withstand manual sawing forces.

Quality & Compliance

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