Flexible Gigli Saw with Eyelets 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 eyelets at both ends of the wire allow quick and secure attachment to compatible Gigli saw handles, ensuring stable operation and improved surgeon control.
Its flexible construction enables the saw to be guided around bones and confined anatomical structures with the assistance of Gigli saw guides or carriers. This flexibility facilitates bone cutting in areas that may be difficult to access using rigid saws or powered instruments.
The serrated wire design promotes efficient bone sectioning while minimizing tissue disruption. The eyelet configuration enhances procedural efficiency by simplifying instrument assembly and reducing the risk of handle slippage during use.
Flexible Gigli Saws with Eyelets are widely used in procedures such as craniotomies, osteotomies, amputations, thoracic surgery, and craniofacial interventions.
Depending on the specific model and manufacturer, these instruments may be available in multiple lengths and wire diameters to accommodate different surgical requirements. They may also be supplied as sterile single-use devices or reusable instruments.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the saw offers exceptional flexibility, corrosion resistance, and dependable cutting performance.
Widely used in hospitals, trauma centers, and surgical facilities, Flexible Gigli Saws with Eyelets remain essential instruments for manual bone-cutting procedures.
Common Clinical Applications Include:
- Craniotomy Procedures
- Orthopedic Osteotomies
- Maxillofacial Surgery
- Thoracic Surgery
- Limb Amputations
- Craniofacial Surgery
- Pelvic Surgery
- Trauma Surgery
- Bone Grafting Procedures
