The Orthopedic Wire Cutting Pliers 12cm are compact surgical cutting instruments designed for controlled trimming of orthopedic wires, Kirschner wires, fixation pins, and related metallic components. The instrument combines tungsten carbide cutting inserts with a stainless-steel body, providing a defined cutting configuration for orthopedic, trauma, and veterinary surgical use.
With an overall length of 12 cm, the pliers are suited to procedures where a smaller cutting instrument is preferred for access and manual control. The current product listing identifies SKU DF-5656 and includes tungsten carbide reinforced cutting jaws, gold-plated handles, and a screw-joint mechanism.
The working jaws incorporate tungsten carbide cutting inserts. These inserts form the primary cutting surfaces and are intended for repeated contact with surgical wires and pins used in orthopedic fixation procedures.
The TC configuration distinguishes this model from standard stainless-steel wire cutters and provides a specific product feature for hospitals, surgeons, and procurement teams comparing wire-cutting instruments.
The instrument has a listed overall length of 12 cm, approximately 4.75 inches. Its compact size makes it suitable for surgical setups where controlled handling is required within a relatively limited working space.
The current product description specifically references small-bone procedures, including hand, foot, and pediatric orthopedic applications. Final instrument selection should depend on the wire or pin being cut, access requirements, and surgeon preference.
The live product information identifies several applications for these orthopedic wire cutting pliers, including trimming Kirschner wires, fixation pins, and cerclage wires. These metallic components may be used during fracture fixation, stabilization, and related orthopedic procedures.
The current page does not provide an exact maximum compatible wire or pin diameter. Buyers requiring a cutter for a defined K-wire, cerclage wire, or fixation pin size should confirm the required cutting capacity before ordering.
The instrument body is described as manufactured from medical-grade / high-tensile stainless steel. This forms the main structural component of the pliers, while tungsten carbide is used at the cutting surfaces.
The exact stainless-steel alloy grade is not stated on the current product page. Procurement departments requiring a specific material designation or certificate should verify the material specification before purchase.
The current product description identifies gold-plated handles, which visually distinguish the instrument's tungsten carbide configuration. The handles also use a plier-style grip for manual control during cutting.
The exact handle dimensions and gripping-surface measurements are not listed on the page, so no additional unverified dimensions are included here.
The Orthopedic Wire Cutting Pliers incorporate a screw joint designed to support smooth opening and closing of the working jaws. Proper joint movement is important for maintaining controlled cutting action during repeated use.
The current care information states that the instrument is compatible with standard autoclave sterilization protocols. The pliers should be cleaned, inspected, lubricated where appropriate, and sterilized according to the healthcare facility's validated reprocessing procedures and applicable manufacturer instructions.
