Bone Plate Bending Iron heavy model 25.5cm

Clinical Application

This heavy-model bone plate bending iron is used intraoperatively to contour and fine‑tune the shape of bone fixation plates so they closely match patient anatomy. It is appropriate for procedures where controlled manual bending is required—commonly in trauma and orthopaedic fracture fixation, hand and wrist reconstruction, and maxillofacial plate adaptation. The heavier construction is intended to provide increased bending force for larger or stiffer plates that require greater forming moment.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s length (25.5 cm) offers increased leverage for controlled bends, allowing the operator to apply consistent force while maintaining visibility and access around the surgical field. The heavy model configuration provides a higher bending moment than lighter irons, helping to reshape thicker cortical plates with fewer increments. The shaft ergonomics permit a firm manual grip for precise, incremental contouring and tactile feedback to the surgeon.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Bone plate bending iron
• Pattern / model: heavy model
• Configuration: solid bending iron for manual plate contouring
• Length / size: 25.5 cm
• Typical use: intraoperative contouring of bone fixation plates
• Material: stainless steel

Material & Construction

Constructed from durable stainless steel to withstand repeated clinical use and standard sterilization cycles. The single-piece, robust form resists flexing and supports predictable shaping force when contouring plates. Reusable construction enables placement in instrument trays for integration with standard fixation sets.

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.
