Flat Nose Plier w/ lateral wire cutter 18cm

Clinical Application

Provides a combined grasping and cutting function for surgical wire management. The flat jaw surface permits secure holding and controlled bending of cerclage wires, twist wires, fixation wire ends and other small metallic elements while the laterally positioned cutter enables flush or near-flush wire trimming without changing instruments. Commonly used in orthopedic procedures (cerclage and wiring), small bone fixation tasks, dental and ENT wire manipulation, and any case where controlled, low-profile wire trimming is required.

Design & Configuration

The flat, broad jaw geometry distributes holding force across the wire to minimize slippage and permit predictable bending without sharp point pressure. Locating the cutter laterally at the jaw edge keeps the cutting action close to the grip, allowing the operator to cut wires flush to bone or implants and reducing the need to swap instruments. The 18 cm overall length balances reach into surgical fields with tactile control at the tips for fine manipulations in confined spaces.
