Bone Wire soft 0.8mm, 10m

Clinical Application

Soft 0.8 mm bone wire is used to create cerclage loops and tension-band constructs for stabilizing bone fragments during fracture fixation and reconstructive procedures. Its balance of pliability and strength makes it suitable for patellar and olecranon tension-band techniques, periarticular cerclage, wiring of small long-bone fragments, and adjunct fixation in maxillofacial and hand surgery where close contouring to bone is required.

Design & Configuration

The annealed (soft) treatment yields a malleable wire that bends easily, permits tight seating against cortical contours, and accepts repeated twists without spring-back. At 0.8 mm diameter the wire provides a compromise between handling and mechanical integrity for small-to-medium constructs; the continuous 10 m spool reduces interruptions during cases and supports multiple procedures or multiple cerclage loops from a single supply reel. Soft wire is frequently chosen when controlled tightening, contouring, and knot integrity are priorities.

Instrument Specifications

• Diameter: 0.8 mm
• Length: 10 m (continuous spool)
• Wire condition: soft / annealed for increased malleability
• Intended use: cerclage and tension-band fixation applications

Material & Construction

Constructed from medical-grade stainless steel in an annealed state to maximize ductility and reduce work hardening during twisting and bending. The material choice provides corrosion resistance appropriate for temporary internal fixation and is compatible with standard orthopedic wire cutters, cerclage tensioners, and crimps used in operative settings.

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.
