The Smith & Nephew 210482 Spiral Gigli Saw Blade is a sterile, single-use spiral bone-cutting blade measuring 12 inches (approximately 30 cm) in overall length. Crafted from surgical-grade stainless steel, it features a spiral cutting profile that wraps around a central core, providing a continuous and consistent cutting edge on all sides. This spiral design improves durability and cutting efficiency by eliminating weaker, braided wire elements found in traditional Gigli saws.

Engineered for controlled manual sawing, the spiral blade is compatible with standard Gigli handles and instrumentation. Surgeons can thread it through narrow bone corridors using attached loops, then perform back-and-forth motions to execute smooth, precise cuts. The single-wire, spiral construction offers increased resilience—reducing the risk of breakage during use—while its flexibility enables work through complex anatomies like ribs, osteotomies or graft harvesting.

Packaged in a box of six sterile units, the 210482 blade is ideal for high-volume surgical settings such as orthopedic, thoracic, or veterinary procedures. The simplicity of its design—sterile, disposable, and straightforward to employ—helps reduce preparation time and minimize contamination risks. Additionally, its 12‑inch length offers versatile reach for both superficial and deeper surgical applications.
