Parallel Pliers & Wire Cutter

cuts up to 5/64" (2.0 mm) diameter hard wire, 6-1/2" (16.5 cm) Diamond Pin Wire Cutter is a specially designed instrument crafted for use in cutting wire. Many different neurosurgical and orthopedic procedures require the insertion of wire to give the areas additional stability and this cutter can be used to clip these at the desired length. Not only can this instrument be used to trim wire but also surgical pins. Fracture repair and other bone repair surgeries has to be set with pins that also need to be trimmed using this instrument. This instrument is available in two designs: stainless steal or tungsten carbide both of which can cup up to a diameter of 2.0 mm.

end cutting, max cutting capacity 1/16" (1.7 mm), 7-1/2" (19.0 cm) Cannulated Pin Cutter is a specialized instrument ideally suited or use in procedures of fracture repair or other procedures where a graft is set with a pin. The unique design of this cutter allows for effective end cutting. The entire head portion of the pin can be inserted into the cutter and clipped flush and the remaining clipped portion remains held in the cutter to be removed. The maximum cutting capacity of this pin cutter is 1.7 mm.

tungsten carbide jaws, double-action, 1/16" (1.7 mm) maximum capacity, 7-1/8" (18.1 cm) Front and Side Wire Cutter is designed for use in surgical procedures that require manipulation of the length of surgical wire. In procedures such as laminectomies or total hip replacements insertion of a wire is necessary to confer some stability to the newly operated upon region. Not only does this give stability but speeds up the healing time and prevents trauma to the area during the healing process. This particular cutter is a front and side cutter and features double action tungsten carbide jaws that has a maximum capacity of 1.7 mm.

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.
