“Sawbone”

"Our Orthopaedic bones are designed to be cut, drilled, tapped, or gouged with standard instruments - hand or powered. Each “Sawbone” can be used over again for a number of different exercises."
It would, of course, help if you gave adequate context. Without any, I have assumed that this is a question of a “Sawbone” being used for a demonstration and ensuring it is not left behind after the demonstration.

Yes, that is exactly what my reference illustrates. However, with the proviso that the name of the company is "Sawbones" (i.e. a humourous reference to surgeons and the days when they mainly performed amputations), while they refer to one of their own orthopaedic models as a "Sawbone" (singular).

Note from asker:
| In a translation of activities related to expenses in a medical company. I wonder if "sawbone" is both the name of a company and an orthopaedic item. |
