Orthopedic Wire and Pin Pliers: Pin Pulling, Needle Nose, Flat Nose and Locking Pliers
Orthopedic wire work needs pliers made to hold, bend, pull and remove wires and pins without slipping. This collection brings together 13 orthopedic pliers and holding forceps for K-wire, pin and wire handling. Prices range from $13.20 to $104.38, and every instrument ships from Sialkot with worldwide delivery.
Pin and Wire Pulling Pliers
For removing hardware, the Pin Pulling Pliers start from $16.50, and the Wire Extraction Pliers start from $28.60. Both come with options on the product page. The Wire Pulling Forceps with 6½ inch serrated jaws are also listed at $13.20, but are currently sold out, so please contact us for availability.
Needle Nose Pliers
Needle nose pliers reach into small spaces and give a fine grip on wire. The Needle Nose Pliers Wire Cutter have 5 to 6 inch serrated jaws and are priced at $15.40, and the cutting edge saves an instrument change. The Needle Nose Pliers with 5¼ to 6 inch serrated jaws are also $15.40. For longer reach, the Long Jaw Needle Nose Pliers with 7 inch jaws are $16.50, but are sold out at the moment.
Flat Nose Pliers
Flat nose pliers hold and bend wire flat, with a wide grip. The Flat Nose Pliers with serrated flat jaws are $16.50. The Flat Nose Pliers Fine, in 110 to 180 mm, are $18.15 for finer work. The Flat Nose K Wire Pliers have 3 mm plain and side-grooved tips for gripping K-wires, at $19.80.
Locking Pliers
Locking pliers keep their grip without hand pressure, which suits tasks that need a firm, steady hold. The Needle Nose Locking Pliers have 8.5 to 12 inch serrated locking jaws and start from $104.38. The Heavy Duty Locking Pliers at $55.00 are listed for OR hardware control, and the Utility Pliers (bone and wire holding forceps) and Parallel Pliers with 5½ inch jaws are also $55.00. These three are currently sold out.
Choosing the Right Pliers
Think about the task: pulling, holding, bending or cutting. Needle nose jaws reach small spaces, flat jaws hold wire flat and locking jaws hold without hand pressure. Length affects reach and leverage. Check each product page for sizes and options.
