Bone Wire hard 0.8mm, 10m

Clinical Application

This wire is intended for orthopedic cerclage and tension-band constructs where small-diameter, high-stiffness fixation is required. Common procedural uses include patella and olecranon tension-band wiring, clavicle and humeral fragment cerclage, provisional fragment reduction during open fixation, and applications requiring controlled twisting or knotting of metallic wire such as sternal approximation. The 0.8 mm profile offers a balance of handling and strength appropriate for small- to medium-sized bones and fine fragment control.

Design & Configuration

The hard-temper single-strand configuration provides reduced elongation under load compared with annealed wire, helping maintain reduction once the wire is tensioned or twisted. The 10 m spool format allows the surgical team to cut custom lengths intraoperatively, reducing waste and accommodating multiple cases or multiple cerclage passes within a single procedure. The diameter is selected to permit secure twisting without excessive bulk, while remaining thin enough for passage through bone tunnels or around small fragments.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Bone wire for orthopedic fixation
• Pattern / model: hard 0.8mm
• Configuration: single-strand wire supplied on a 10 m spool
• Size: 0.8 mm diameter
• Typical surgical use: cerclage, tension-band fixation, provisional fragment control, sternal approximation
• Material / construction: surgical stainless steel, hardened

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel with a hard temper to increase tensile stiffness and reduce stretch after tensioning. The wire is supplied on a spool to facilitate controlled dispensing and intraoperative cutting to the required working length. The construction is compatible with standard cerclage techniques and commonly used wire-twisting instruments.

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.
