Clinical Application
Designed for manipulation, positioning and temporary control of cerclage/bone wire during orthopedic procedures. Commonly used when placing or tensioning wire around long bones or bone fragments for cerclage fixation, adjunctive stabilization in fracture repair, and during reconstructive or trauma cases where precise wire control is required. The instrument permits controlled handling of wire while minimizing soft-tissue interference.
Design & Configuration
The 28 cm length provides extended reach for working around deeper anatomical exposures and through surgical windows without the need for excessive soft-tissue retraction. The long shaft geometry keeps the operator's hands clear of the field while enabling fine control of wire placement. Narrow, purpose-shaped jaws concentrate grip on the wire to reduce slippage and aid in guided passage or twisting maneuvers. The overall handheld forceps form supports precise one-handed manipulation and alignment of cerclage material during fixation.
