Extra Long Gigli Saw

Extra Long Gigli Saw is a specialized surgical bone-cutting instrument commonly used by orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, thoracic surgeons, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons during procedures requiring controlled bone division. The instrument consists of a flexible, multi-strand stainless steel wire with precision-engineered cutting serrations designed to cut bone using a reciprocating sawing motion. The extra-long configuration provides increased working length, allowing surgeons to access larger anatomical structures and deep operative sites where standard Gigli saws may be insufficient. Its flexible design enables the saw to be guided around bone structures with the assistance of compatible Gigli saw guides or carriers, facilitating bone cutting in confined or anatomically challenging locations. The extended length is particularly advantageous during craniotomy procedures, pelvic osteotomies, thoracic surgery, amputations, and maxillofacial interventions that require greater reach and maneuverability. Extra Long Gigli Saws may be supplied as sterile single-use devices or as reusable instruments depending on the specific model and manufacturer. They are compatible with standard Gigli saw handles, which attach securely to each end of the wire to provide controlled traction and efficient cutting action. Manufactured from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, the saw offers excellent flexibility, durability, and corrosion resistance while maintaining consistent cutting performance. Widely used in hospitals, trauma centers, and surgical facilities, Extra Long Gigli Saws remain essential instruments for bone-cutting procedures requiring precision and versatility. Common Clinical Applications Include: Craniotomy Procedures Orthopedic Osteotomies Maxillofacial Surgery Thoracic Surgery Pelvic Surgery Limb Amputations Bone Grafting Procedures Craniofacial Surgery Trauma Surgery Bone Sectioning Specifications Feature Details Product Name Extra Long Gigli Saw Instrument Type Flexible Wire Bone Saw Function Bone Cutting and Osteotomy Design Extended-Length Serrated Wire Operation Manual Reciprocating Motion Compatibility Standard Gigli Saw Handles and Guides Material Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel Length Extra-Long Configuration Sterility Sterile or Non-Sterile Options Available* Reusability Single-Use or Reusable Options Available* Application Orthopedic, Neurosurgical, Thoracic, and Maxillofacial Procedures *Sterility and reusability depend on the specific model and manufacturer. Frequently Asked Questions What is an Extra Long Gigli Saw used for?
