The Nartheticum's saw is often used as a secondary weapon for the Apothecary. In the case of a DA Apothecary during the campaign of Piscinia it served has his primary melee weapon.

There is nothing to worry about the saw or drill being contaminated, they are not meant to even touch the skin of the Astartes. For that, they have a laser scalpel and the Reductor.
