Lane Bone Plate Bending Iron 18cm

Clinical Application

Used to contour malleable bone fixation plates to match patient anatomy before definitive fixation. Commonly deployed in orthopedic, trauma and reconstructive procedures where titanium or stainless-steel plates require precise bending to achieve intimate bone contact and restore alignment. Pre-bending plates with a dedicated bending iron reduces intraoperative plate manipulation at the surgical site and helps ensure correct screw trajectory and cortical apposition once seated.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s straight shaft and flattened working tip provide a broad contact surface for applying controlled bending forces to plate segments without concentrating stress on a single point. The 18 cm length delivers reach into deeper wound sites and improved mechanical advantage for shaping plates manually. A single-piece, rigid configuration preserves alignment during bending and simplifies handling with plate-holding instruments.
