Wire Extraction Pliers/Forceps – Tungsten Carbide
tungsten carbide jaws, double-action, 7" (17.8 cm) Wire Extraction Pliers/Forceps are a multi-purpose instrument that can be used as pliers to twist and manipulate wire or as a forceps for simple handling. This instrument is designed for heavy use and is made in a double-action pattern, which provides a reliable grip on K-wire and pins. The tungsten carbide also gives this instrument increased durability and an extended service life. Additionally this instrument features gold plated handles and is available with 2.0 mm, 4.0 mm and 6.0 mm jaws.
Wire Pulling Forceps
max capacity 1.0 mm, 6-1/2" (16.5 cm) Wire Pulling Forceps are a specialized instrument ideally suited for using in manipulation of wire. Many neurosurgical and orthopedic procedures require placement of grafts or other things that necessitate some stabilization to prevent injury. Laminectomies and other spinal surgeries especially require the insertion of wire throughout to prevent incomplete healing or trauma and thus these forceps can be used to handle the wire and guide it through different areas. This instrument has a maximum capacity of 1.0 mm.
Wire Tightener
4-3/4" (12.0 cm) Wire Tightener is a specialized instrument ideally suited for handling of wire especially in closure of loops. It is necessary to have an instrument that is specially crafted for handling wire and twisting it without weakening the structure of the material. If particular care is not taken and the appropriate instrument is not applied wires can become weakened at the point where they are twisted making that application more prone to breakage and eventually causing damage and trauma to the patient.
Wire Twister
tungsten carbide inserts, 6" (15.2 cm) 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 is available in delicate or blunt tips making it suitable for any surgeon preference.
Wire Twister – Cross-Serrated Nose
cross-serrated nose, blunt jaws, tungsten carbide inserts, 8-1/4" (21.0 cm) 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 Twister & Tightener
6-1/4" (15.9 cm)Wire Twister and Tightener is a unique instrument designed for use in manipulation of wires in a variety of neurosurgical procedures. This instrument features ring handles which allow for it to be comfortably manipulated manually. Additionally there is a ratcheting mechanism that allows it to be set at a certain width and locked in to prevent slippage during the procedure. The jaws of this tool are crafted to effectively grasp wires of different gauges used in surgery.
Wire Twisting Forceps
13.0 mm jaw length, 5-1/2" (14.0 cm) 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.
Wolfe-Boehler Plaster Breaker
deep jaw serrations Wolff-Boehler Plaster Breaker is an instrument that features deep jaw serrations making it specifically designed for creating force to break through a cast that has been set with plaster. A variety of surgical procedures, specifically those that are intended to repair fractures necessitate that the bones are maintained in a specific alignment as they heal. In order to do this particular regions are set in plaster casts and when it comes time for removal this breaker can effectively aid in that process. This instrument is available in two lengths 8" and 9.5".
X-Ray Scale
Yankauer Suction Tube – Pediatric
Suction Tube
small pattern, narrow handle (pediatric), w/ removable tip, 8-1/4" (21.0 cm) overall length
Yankauer Suction Tube is designed to be used during general procedures involving pediatrics due to the narrow handle and smaller pattern. The reason of using this tube is to clean the surgical site, thereby also removing debris or fluids and reducing the chance for infection. The end of the tube contains a removable bulb-shaped tip, and the overall length is 8 ¼."
