Wire Cutting and Extracting Instruments for Orthopedic Surgery
Wire and pins need to be cut, twisted and trimmed cleanly during fixation. This collection brings together five orthopedic wire cutters, pin cutters, wire cutting scissors and a wire twisting forceps, priced from $19.80 to $203.50. Every instrument ships from Sialkot with worldwide delivery. All five are currently sold out, so please contact us for availability, or see our bone wire cutters, which can be ordered now.
Pin and Wire Cutters
The TC Pin and Wire Cutter 15cm has tungsten carbide cutting jaws, which help hold an edge through repeated use, and is priced at $49.50. The Orthopedic Wire Cutting Pliers 12cm are also $49.50 and are a compact pattern for controlled cutting. For heavier work, the Wire and Pin Cutter Pliers 45cm are a long-handled pattern at $203.50, and the length adds leverage.
Wire Cutting Scissors
For fine wire, the Wire Cutting Scissors 4 3/4" Tungsten Carbide are our most affordable instrument, at $19.80. Their compact size gives good control in a small field, and the tungsten carbide edge suits cutting wire.
Wire Twisting
The Niro Wire Twisting Forceps 15cm are priced at $38.50 and are made for twisting wire ends during fixation. Cutting and twisting often go hand in hand, so many surgeons keep both on the tray.
Choosing the Right Instrument
Match the instrument to the wire or pin. Cutting capacity is the key figure, so check the maximum diameter before ordering. Tungsten carbide jaws help hold an edge, longer handles add leverage for heavier wire, and compact scissors suit fine work. Check each product page for capacity and options.

Care and Handling
Cutting jaws dull and chip if they are used on wire or pins beyond their capacity. Clean instruments promptly after each case and check that the jaws meet cleanly. Send them for sharpening, or replace them, when they no longer cut cleanly.
