Langenbeck Amputating and Resection Saw

Description

Langenbeck Amputating and Resection Saw

The Langenbeck amputating saw is a compact, 23 cm manual bone saw. It suits amputation and resection of smaller bones.

Compact Langenbeck saw

A shorter saw suits smaller bones and tighter spaces. Therefore it fits forearm, hand and foot work. It still cuts efficiently.

A respected name

Bernhard von Langenbeck designed many surgical tools still in use. Besides, this saw carries that name. In addition, it follows a simple, practical design.

Who uses the Langenbeck amputating saw

Orthopedic surgeons use it for digit and forearm amputations. Also, tumor surgeons use it for small resections. Moreover, it suits outreach sets.

Technique

Start with short strokes to create a groove. Then continue with longer, steady strokes. Irrigate to keep the bone cool.

Choosing a Langenbeck saw size

Use this 23 cm saw for smaller bones. However, choose a longer saw for the femur. Many sets carry both.

Small bone amputations

Digit and ray amputations need a precise, controlled cut. So a short saw keeps the stroke small and accurate. It also lets the surgeon work close to delicate soft tissue.

Hand and foot sets

Hand and foot trays rarely have room for long saws. So a 23 cm saw fits there neatly. It still gives a clean, square cut.
