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] It is also used in veterinary medicine for cutting antler, horn, and tusks, as well as bone.
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 2023 American horror film Saw X[4] and in Dexter: Resurrection by Ronald Schmidt, the Dark Passenger killer.
