McGee Wire Closure Fcps 0.8x3.5mm 8cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled handling, positioning and securing of surgical wire during closure procedures. Commonly used for sternal wire closure after median sternotomy and for cerclage wiring in trauma or orthopedic applications where 0.8 mm wire is employed. The instrument facilitates secure grasping and manipulation of wire ends for tensioning and twisting, helping achieve reliable approximation of bone or sternal edges.

Design & Configuration

The compact 8 cm length balances reach with tactile control, allowing fine manual feedback when grasping and tightening wire in confined operative fields. The tip geometry is sized to accommodate 0.8 x 3.5 mm wire, providing a positive purchase to reduce slippage during tensioning and twisting. A slim shank and proportionate jaw length minimize interference with adjacent tissue and instrumentation, improving access and visibility during closure.
