Demel Bone Wire Guide 30.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed to facilitate controlled passage of cerclage (bone) wire in orthopedic procedures, this wire guide is used during fracture fixation, tension-band wiring, and cerclage techniques on long bones, patella, olecranon and other bony segments. By providing a slim, elongated channel for the wire, the instrument helps reduce soft-tissue handling and allows accurate wire placement around the bone circumference in both open and limited-access approaches.

Design & Configuration

The extended 30.5 cm shaft provides reach for deeper surgical sites and circumferential passage around larger bone segments. The hand-held configuration gives the surgeon tactile control when negotiating soft-tissue planes and retrieving or delivering wire ends. A narrow, low-profile shaft aids passage through tight spaces while minimizing tissue disruption, and the overall geometry supports both straight-line and circumferential wire routing techniques commonly used in trauma and reconstructive procedures.
