Specifications - Gigli Saw Wire

A Gigli Saw Wire is a flexible wire saw used by surgeons to cut bones. It is composed of of multiple, flexible, wires twisted in such a way as to create multiple cutting surfaces. There are loops on both ends that can be attached to a handle. It is commonly used for amputation of limbs.

Gigli Saw Wire Blade is a single use piece of the saw due to the amounts of flesh and bone imbedded in the wire during procedures.

Though modern power tools have replaced manual saws as the primary tool for amputation, Gigli saws are still used during detailed procedures where precision and control are particularly pertinent. They allow for smooth, even cutting, especially in small or sensitive areas. In particular, they are still regularly used for limb removal and bone extraction.
