A manual surgical saw, flexible is a hand-held instrument used by surgeons to cut bone during orthopaedic or neurological procedures. It features a thin, flexible wire-like blade with handles on each end that can be detached to allow the blade to be threaded through small openings, such as burr holes in the skull, enabling precise bone cutting where rigid saws cannot reach.
