Sklar Aseptic Saw, Bow Handle
A manual bow handled bone saw supplied with two 7 inch blades, used by orthopedic surgeons for controlled bone cutting during open procedures. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Aseptic Saw is a manual hand saw used in orthopedic surgery to cut bone during amputations, osteotomies, and other procedures that call for controlled, hand driven sectioning rather than powered instrumentation. It measures 13-1/2 inches overall and features a bow style handle that keeps the blade under tension for a straighter, more predictable cut, along with two 7 inch blades supplied with the set so a fresh or replacement blade is on hand during the case.
Manual bone saws like this remain useful in settings where powered saws are unavailable, where sterility or battery concerns rule out powered equipment, or where a surgeon simply prefers the tactile control a hand saw provides. It is primarily used by orthopedic and general surgeons, as well as surgical teams working in field, veterinary, or resource limited settings where reliable hand instruments are valued.
The bow frame and blade are designed to be reprocessed between uses, with blades replaceable as they dull from repeated cutting.
