Chainsaw

Part of Medicine of the Otheiae
Part of Technology of Otheia
Invented by Esa of Rasek, the Flexible Saw was created to aid surgeons during their operations. Designed to simplify the removal of diseased bones and symphystomic procedures, the chainsaw has spread across Otheia over the last fourty years.
Consisting of a sharpened serrated chain between two handles, it was created in 323, it was originally designed for amputations at the joint, though it has found other medicinal uses as well, mostly removing or cutting bone.
Despite its acclaimed uses, it is an expensive tool, and many people fear the mechanical device, moreso than traditional bonesaws, and so it remains uncommon in all but urban surgeon’s workspaces. Some woodcutters have claimed that it could be a tool useful for cutting trees, but the tool remains too expensive to be practical for use anywhere save an operating theatre.
