Frequently asked questions
Is this wire built for heavy-duty surgical use?
Yes, the Sklar Gigli Saw Wire is engineered specifically for surgical bone cutting. It is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring the durability required for reliable performance in demanding surgical environments.
Can this saw wire withstand multiple sterilization cycles?
Absolutely. This is a reusable instrument designed to be cleaned and sterilized according to standard medical protocols. Its robust stainless steel construction allows it to be used repeatedly, provided proper maintenance is followed.
Does the wire come with the necessary handles for operation?
No, the wire is sold as a single unit. You will need to acquire compatible Gigli Saw Handles—which are available in either T-shape or Loop configurations—to operate the wire effectively.
Is the material safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, this product is explicitly manufactured without natural rubber latex. It is safe for use on patients with latex sensitivities.
How does the twisted design improve cutting efficiency?
The wire consists of several flexible wires that have been twisted together. This specific design creates multiple effective cutting edges along the length of the wire, which are designed to cut bone smoothly when used with a reciprocating motion.
Does this instrument meet TAA compliance standards?
Yes, the Sklar Gigli Saw Wire is fully TAA compliant, meeting the necessary requirements for institutional and government purchasing.
Is the 16-inch length appropriate for various procedures?
The 16-inch length is a versatile option within the Sklar range. While the company offers several lengths (9, 12, 16, 20, and 30 inches), the 16-inch model provides a standard reach suitable for many common orthopedic bone sectioning applications.
Does this product come with a long-term quality guarantee?
Yes, Sklar backs this instrument with a comprehensive lifetime warranty, reflecting their commitment to the quality and durability of their surgical tools.
What is the recommended motion for optimal bone cutting?
For the best results, the wire should be secured between two handles and operated with a reciprocating motion. This involves moving the wire back and forth, effectively covering an arc of approximately 180 degrees around the bone.
Is this surgical wire standard in professional medical settings?
Yes, Sklar is a trusted brand for surgical instruments. This Gigli Saw Wire is a professional-grade tool used extensively by surgeons for precise bone sectioning in orthopedic and surgical procedures.
