Wire Cutter (Front Cutter) D/A 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled severing of surgical wire and cerclage material, this front-cutter is used to trim stainless steel wire, cerclage loops, sternal wires and other fixation wire during orthopedic, thoracic and general surgical procedures. The distal/front cutting geometry enables surgeons to make near-surface, flush cuts that minimize protruding wire ends and reduce the need for secondary trimming.

Design & Configuration

The front-cutting (distal) jaw layout allows the cutting edges to approach the wire close to the tissue or bone surface, providing a flush finish. The D/A designation indicates a double-action mechanism that multiplies the user's applied force, requiring less hand effort to shear high-strength wire while improving control and reducing hand fatigue. At 23 cm overall length, the instrument gives additional reach and leverage for procedures in deeper wounds or around implants where extra working length and mechanical advantage are required.
