Engineering:Gigli saw
From HandWiki
Short description: Flexible wire saw for bone cutting
A Gigli saw is a flexible wire saw used by surgeons for bone cutting.[1] A Gigli saw is used mainly for amputation, where the bones have to be smoothly cut at the level of amputation.[2]
The saw was invented by Leonardo Gigli, an Italian obstetrician, to simplify the performance of a lateral pubiotomy in obstructed labour.[3]
It is featured in the horror film Saw X (2023).[4]
