Bone Wire hard 1.0mm, 10m

Clinical Application

This high‑tensile bone wire is intended for use in orthopedic and cardiothoracic procedures that require skeletal wiring. Typical applications include cerclage wiring for long‑bone fractures, tension‑band constructs for patella or olecranon fixation, sternal closure, and other situations where a secure circumferential or looped fixation is required. The 1.0 mm diameter provides a balance of strength and manageability for both adult and some pediatric indications where a rigid, load‑bearing loop is needed.

Design & Configuration

The "hard" temper increases wire tensile strength and stiffness compared with more ductile annealed wire. Clinically, this helps the construct maintain tension and resist stretching under physiological load, which can improve stability of cerclage and tension‑band repairs. Because hard wire is less malleable, surgeons should use appropriate wire‑twisting and cutting instruments and avoid excessive bending to reduce risk of fatigue or fracture during placement.

Instrument Specifications

• Diameter: 1.0 mm
• Length: 10 m (bulk spool)
• Temper: hard (higher tensile strength, reduced malleability)
• Intended use: cerclage, tension‑band, sternal and other skeletal wiring

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical‑grade stainless steel in a hard temper to provide elevated tensile strength and resistance to elongation under load. The hard construction is selected for applications where sustained loop tension and minimized creep are clinically important. Compatible with standard wire passers, wire twisters, and wire cutters used in orthopedic and cardiothoracic surgery.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
