Gigli saw

Definition

A hand-held manual surgical instrument used in orthopaedic or neurological surgery for cutting bone through a sawing action performed by the operator. It consists of two handles. The handles can be easily unhooked to permit entry of the wire into a narrow opening, e.g., holes drilled in the top of the skull through which the flexible wire is fed for sawing of the skull prior to removal of the top section. This device is commonly known as a Gigli saw.

Specifications

In their simplest form, Gigli saws are comprised of two handles and an extremely flexible blade. The blade is made with a thin collection of stainless steel wires that are methodically twisted into barbs, thus creating cutting surfaces along all edges and sides. Each end of the blade is then finished with a loop that is engineered to accept a variety of different detachable handles. During amputation, surgeons pull back and forth on each handle, applying varying amounts of pressure and speed to generate sawing motions. The twisted wires simulate a serrated blade with 360 degrees of flexible cutting surface, making quick work of the removal.

Technical specifications

HANDLE (always by pair)

  • T-handle, ended by a hook
  • Material: martensitic steel

WIRE

  • Composed of multiple flexible wires twisted in such a way as to create multiple cutting surfaces
  • Ring at either end enabling its attachment to the T-handles
  • Length: 50 cm
  • Material: austenitic steel

Instructions for use

Precautions for Use

Wire for single use due to the amount of organic material embedded in the wiring during procedure.

The wire is a very sharp item to be handled with care to prevent any risk of injury!
