tungsten carbide jaws, maximum capacity 2.0 mm, 7" (18.0 cm) Cable Cutter is an instrument ideally suited for use in orthopedic procedures. A number of surgical interventions require the placement of steel wires or cable to confer additionally stability to an area of bone. Specifically cable can be used in total hip arthroplasty to give more secure fixation and prevent trauma during the healing process. After inserting the cable it needs to be trimmed and manipulated to be the perfect length for that unique patients scenario. Additionally this instrument features tungsten carbide jaws and has a maximum capacity of 2.0 mm.

5-1/2" (14.0 cm) Blunt Jaw Pliers can be used in a variety of surgical procedures that require the insertion and manipulation of wires.

serrated jaws, 7" (17.8 cm), 3.0 mm tip Flat Nose K-Wire Pliers are instruments ideally suited for use with surgical K-wire. This wire can be used for temporary fixation in some procedures thus giving support through the healing process and then can be removed. Additionally K-wire can be used in permanent fixation and can also be passed through the skin and bone to provide direct traction to the bone itself. In all of this surgical scenarios this instrument will be of optimal function in manipulation and handling of the wire and features serrated jaws which gives added hold and grip to prevent slipping.
