Gigli Saw Loop Type is a specialized surgical bone-cutting instrument commonly used by orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, thoracic surgeons, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons during procedures requiring precise bone division.
The instrument consists of a flexible, multi-strand stainless steel wire with precision-engineered cutting serrations designed to cut bone through a reciprocating sawing motion. Integrated loops at both ends of the wire enable rapid and secure attachment to compatible Gigli saw handles, providing stable traction and improved surgeon control throughout the procedure.
The flexible wire design allows the saw to be guided around bones and anatomically challenging structures with the assistance of Gigli saw guides or carriers. This configuration facilitates bone cutting in deep, curved, or confined surgical sites where rigid saws or powered instruments may be difficult to position.
The loop-type design enhances ease of use by simplifying instrument setup and reducing the risk of handle disengagement during bone sectioning.
Gigli Saw Loop Type instruments are widely used in craniotomy procedures, orthopedic osteotomies, craniofacial surgery, thoracic interventions, pelvic procedures, trauma reconstruction, and limb amputations.
Available in multiple lengths and wire diameters, the instrument can be selected according to specific procedural requirements and surgeon preferences.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the saw offers exceptional flexibility, corrosion resistance, and dependable cutting performance. Depending on the specific model and manufacturer, it may be supplied as a sterile single-use device or as a reusable instrument.
Widely used in hospitals, trauma centers, and surgical facilities, Gigli Saw Loop Type instruments remain essential tools for manual bone-cutting procedures.
