Olivecrona Gigli Saw wire x4 twist 70cm

Clinical Application

This flexible wire saw is intended for manual bone sectioning where a rigid saw cannot reach or where a small incision and minimal soft-tissue disruption are required. Common clinical uses include cranial bone removal during craniotomy, controlled osteotomies, amputations, removal of bone segments in orthopedic and podiatric procedures, and cutting bone around implants in revision work. The flexible profile allows the wire to be passed around curved anatomy and cut along non-linear planes under direct surgeon control.

Design & Configuration

The four-strand twisted configuration balances cutting performance and flexibility. Multiple twisted strands form a serrated cutting surface that permits efficient bone traction while maintaining pliability for routing through confined spaces. The 70 cm length provides sufficient reach to encircle larger anatomical structures or to accommodate commonly used Gigli-style handles, enabling two-handed or single-operator techniques as required by the procedure.
