Gigli saws are flexible twisted-wire bone saws used for controlled cutting in amputations, craniotomies, orthopedic, autopsy, and veterinary procedures. Their slim, adaptable design and secure handles enable smooth bone cuts in tight or curved spaces, reducing splintering and soft-tissue trauma. Ideal where powered tools are impractical, they offer dependable performance, portability, and excellent value for modern surgical and emergency setups.
Description
Gigli saws are flexible wire bone saws designed for precise cutting in confined and sensitive surgical areas. Each saw consists of a multi-strand twisted stainless steel wire with fine cutting edges, attached to sturdy T-shaped or loop handles. This construction provides a smooth, controlled reciprocating motion, allowing surgeons and veterinary professionals to perform clean osteotomies with excellent tactile feedback and minimal bone splintering.
These saws are widely used in amputations, craniotomies, spinal access procedures, maxillofacial surgery, orthopedic trauma, post-mortem examinations, and veterinary bone or antler work. Their flexible profile allows the wire to be passed safely around bone, making them ideal where rigid saws or powered instruments cannot be positioned or might risk damage to surrounding soft tissues.
