Gigli Wires
Free!
Gigli wires are flexible, twisted stainless steel wire saws used for precise bone cutting in orthopedic, neurosurgical, trauma, and veterinary procedures. Their looped ends and fine cutting surfaces allow smooth, controlled sawing in tight or hard-to-reach areas, reducing splintering and tissue trauma. Durable, lightweight, and compatible with standard handles, they are a trusted choice for professionals who need clean, accurate surgical results.
Description
Gigli wires are flexible surgical wire saws designed for controlled bone cutting in procedures where precision, access, and minimal trauma are critical. Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, each wire consists of multiple twisted strands that form fine cutting surfaces along its entire length. Loops or eyelets at both ends allow secure attachment to compatible handles, enabling a smooth, back-and-forth sawing motion with excellent tactile feedback.
Key features and benefits:
-
Twisted, multi-strand construction for efficient, even cutting of cortical and cancellous bone
-
Flexible design that can be looped around hard-to-reach anatomical areas
-
Stainless steel material for strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion
-
Available in various lengths to suit different surgical approaches and patient sizes
-
Compatible with standard Gigli saw handles for secure grip and controlled operation
-
Supplied as sterile or sterilizable depending on configuration, supporting safe clinical use
Gigli wires are widely used in:
-
Orthopedic surgery for amputations and corrective osteotomies
-
Neurosurgery, especially for controlled craniotomy cuts
-
Trauma and reconstructive procedures where access is limited
-
Veterinary surgery for precise bone cutting in large and small animals
Compared with rigid saws or powered bone saws, Gigli wires offer superior maneuverability in confined spaces, reduced risk of unwanted bone splintering, and a lightweight, low-noise option suitable for delicate or field settings. Quality Gigli wires are typically produced in line with recognized medical device and stainless-steel standards; buyers should select products that meet local regulatory and hospital compliance requirements.
For hospitals, clinics, and distributors, stocking reliable Gigli wires ensures surgeons have a proven, versatile tool ready for demanding bone-cutting procedures.
