What Wikipedia says

A Gigli saw is a flexible wire saw used by surgeons for bone cutting. A Gigli saw is used mainly for amputation, where the bones have to be smoothly cut at the level of amputation. In addition, it was once commonly used to perform craniotomies for brain surgery, before the invention of powered skull saws.
