Wire & Pin Management Instruments
Wire Twister – Cross-Serrated Nose
cross-serrated nose, blunt jaws, tungsten carbide inserts, 8-1/4" (21.0 cm)Â Wire Twister is an instrument that has wide surgical applications. This twister features ring handles which makes them easy to manipulate manually to twist and bend wire. There are a number of maneuvers that require addition of wire such as cervical facet wiring. Two strands of wire can be passed through and around a graft that was inserted and used to stabilize it. This technique additionally can be used to stabilize the vertebrae after laminectomies to reduce instability and speed repair. This twister also features tungsten carbide insert and features a cross-serrated nose and blunt jaws.
Wire Twisting Forceps
13.0 mm jaw length, 5-1/2" (14.0 cm)Â Wire Twisting Forceps are specially designed forceps required to manipulate and twist off wire after it has been secured. Many procedures require the use of wire to stabilize a graft or to give the areas that was operated on additional support. This confers additionally stability thus reducing likelihood of trauma during the recovery period. Often the wire segments that are inserted must be secured by twisting. This instrument features jaws with serrations on them that allow for reduced slippage.
