The unique design of this instrument allows it to comfortably be set flush against the areas where the wire has been inserted and clip it at a length that makes it the best fit. A variety of spinal procedures require for the placement of wire through the newly grafted area to give additional support throughout recovery and this instrument can be used in manipulation and cutting of these wires. Additionally this instrument features tungsten carbide jaws and can cut wires up to a diameter of 1.1 mm.
Kirschner Bow
Kirschner Bow is an instrument that can be used in a variety of orthopedic surgical procedures. A kirschner wire can be used to stabilize and approximate fractures after surgical repair. These wires can be quite easy to insert but must be manipulated with the proper instrumentation such as this bow. This bow applies a longitudinal force of tension that prevents rotation of the wire within the apparatus. This instrument is available in three sizes: medium, large and extra large as well as a set of 3 extra hooks for the krischner bow.
Lineman Pliers
side-cutting, maximum capacity 1.6 mm, 8-1/2" (21.6 cm)Â 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.
Locking Pliers
reinforced jaw hinge, self-locking lever w/ adjustment screw & one-handed quick release Locking Pliers can be used to shape and use wire in many different surgical procedures. A unique feature of this instrument is a reinforced jaw hinge as well as a self-locking lever with adjustment. This makes this instrument highly versatile and able to adapt to a variety of surgical scenarios. Additionally this instrument has a one-handed quick release and is available in three different lengths 7", 8" and 10".
Long Jaw Needle Nose Pliers
2-1/4" jaw length, 2.0 mm tip, 7" (17.8 cm)Â Long Jaw Needle Nose Pliers are crafted for use in many different orthopedic surgical procedures. The long tapered jaw design gives the surgeon ability to access deeper into the surgical field. These pliers can be used to firmly grasp wire to twist it or to put particular bends into wire to fasten them to bony sites or around fracture repair to confer additionally stability and accelerate the healing time.
Loute Wire Tightener
8-1/2" (22.0 cm)Â Loute Wire Tightener is ideally suited for use in procedures that require the addition of wire and subsequent tightening of these wires. This instrument can be used to twist and tighten the ends of loose wire without putting undue pressure or strain on these regions which can make them more liable for breakage. It can be used in many procedures specifically those such as fracture approximation in which a minimal amount of foreign material is implanted but the optimal support is obtained to accelerate healing.
Medium Wire Twister
tungsten carbide inserts, 6-3/4" (17.1 cm)Medium Wire Twister is a unique instrument designed for handling wire in orthopedic procedures. A variety of surgical maneuvers require the insertion of and manipulation of wire pieces. Examples include stabilization of the vertebrae post-laminectomy or hemilaminectomy procedures. This reduces instability of the vertebral column and reduces shock and trauma to the site of surgery during recovery. Additionally this wire twister features tungsten carbide inserts.
Narrow Nose Wire Pulling Forceps
3mm tip, 7-1/2" (19.1 cm)Â Narrow Nose Wire Pulling Forceps are ideally suited for use in a variety of orthopedic procedures that require the use of wire. A wide range of procedures such as fracture repair requires the use of wire to stabilize the bone fragments to accelerate the healing process. This forceps is made in an extra heavy jaw pattern that makes it ideal for pulling K-wire and Steinmann pins. This instrument features a 3.0 mm tip that allows it to fit into more difficult to access areas.
Needle Nose Locking Pliers
reinforced jaw hinge, self-locking lever w/ adjustment screw & one-handed quick release Needle Nose Locking Pliers are a combination instrument that have the increased accessibility of reach that comes with a needle nose design coupled with the strength of locking pliers. Additionally this instrument features a reinforced jaw hinge as well as a self-locking lever with adjustment screw that makes this a very versatile tool. It also has a one-handed quick release for certain scenarios where it is necessary for quick removal. This instrument is available in three lengths 8 5/8", 9.5" and 12" and in a variety of tip widths.
Needle Nose Pliers – Delicate Jaws
delicate, 4-3/4" (12.1 cm)Â Needle Nose Pliers are crafted for use in manipulate of surgical wire such as k-wire. Wire is a widely used accessory in surgical interventions because it can be used to approximate a fracture and speed up the healing process or it can be inserted through the skin and bone to give increased traction. These pliers can be used to twist and manipulate the wire into whatever orientation is required. Additionally this instrument of a delicate pattern and is available with either smooth jaws or serrated jaws to satisfy any surgical scenario or surgeon preferences.
