Dotcom Pharma Stainless Steel Coated Amputation Saw (10

An amputation saw is a specialized surgical instrument designed for cutting through bone during limb amputation procedures. It is a critical tool used in orthopedic, trauma, and battlefield surgery where precise, efficient, and sterile bone cutting is required. The saw may be either manual (commonly referred to as a Gigli saw or a hacksaw-style surgical saw) or powered (electric or battery-operated), depending on the clinical setting and surgical requirements.

Traditional manual amputation saws consist of a robust metal frame with a replaceable, fine-toothed blade to facilitate clean, controlled cuts through hard tissues like bone without damaging surrounding soft tissues. Powered versions improve surgical speed and reduce physical exertion, offering enhanced accuracy and minimal trauma.

The amputation saw is designed to prioritize surgeon control, patient safety, and cutting precision, with ergonomically shaped handles and sterile, autoclavable materials. In many modern operating rooms, powered oscillating or reciprocating saws are preferred for major amputations, while manual saws remain vital in field medicine and low-resource environments.
