Parallel Pliers & Wire Cutter

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. This instrument is available with or without a grooved jaw.

slender jaws, 2.0 mm tip, 6" (15.2 cm) Flat Nose Pliers and Cutter is a multi-functional instrument that can be used as a pliers to manipulate the wire but also as a cutter to trim it to the appropriate length. This combination instrument also features a tapered jaw that allows it to access some areas that are more difficult to get to. Additionally, the flat nose prevents any trauma to surrounding tissue areas.

tungsten carbide, serrated jaws, long tips, 6-1/4" (15.9 cm) Corwin Wire Twister is a specialized instrument crafted to handle wire. Wires can e placed in a variety of surgical settings that require addition of and manipulation of wire. Producedures such as laminectomies require for the vertebrae to be stabilized so that it may heal correctly and reduce trauma to the spine. This twister features tungsten carbide inserts which confer stability as well as serrated jaws which gives them an additional stable grasp on the wire. Additionally this twister has long tips that allow it to fit into some tighter spaces.

side-cutting, maximum capacity 1.6 mm, 8-1/2" (21.6 cm) Lineman Pliers are a multi-purpose instrument designed for use in surgical procedures to manipulate wire. Many orthopedic surgeries such as fracture repair depend on the use of wire to approximate the fragments and accelerate the healing process. Wires must be manipulated and wrapped to fit the particular scenario where they are needed and these pliers are built for that. They features tungsten carbide jaws and are side cutting with a maximum capacity of 1.6 mm.
