Bone Wire soft 0.5mm, 10m

Clinical Application

Soft 0.5 mm bone wire is used for cerclage and tension‑band constructs to reduce and retain bone fragments during orthopedic procedures. Common applications include fixation of patellar and olecranon fractures, supplemental cerclage around long‑bone shafts, and small‑bone fixation where a fine, flexible wire is required to conform to complex anatomy or to be twisted for secure knotless fixation. The 10 m spool provides sufficient length for multiple intraoperative cuts and diverse case needs.

Design & Configuration

The soft temper and 0.5 mm diameter provide a balance of flexibility and tensile strength: the wire conforms around irregular bone contours and through predrilled holes while allowing controlled twisting to achieve compression of fracture fragments. The long continuous length on a spool lets surgical teams cut bespoke segment lengths at the sterile field, reducing waste and simplifying inventory management for cases requiring multiple cerclage turns or supplemental bindings.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Bone wire
• Pattern / model: soft
• Diameter: 0.5 mm
• Length: 10 m spool
• Typical surgical use: Orthopedic cerclage, tension‑band fixation, supplemental fragment stabilization
• Material: Medical‑grade stainless steel

Material & Construction

Constructed from medical‑grade stainless steel in a soft temper to facilitate bending and twisting without premature work hardening. Supplied as a continuous 10 m length suitable for intraoperative cutting to size. The soft configuration reduces the tendency to cut through bone when used with appropriate technique and hardware (e.g., tensioning devices, crimps, or twists).

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.
