Schuknecht Wire Closer Fcps 80mm shaft

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled closure and manipulation of cerclage and fixation wires during orthopedic and trauma procedures. The instrument provides precise grip and closure of wire ends for cerclage fixation, tension-band constructs and other wire-based stabilization techniques where secure handling and controlled closure of wire is required.

Design & Configuration

The narrow 80 mm shaft provides a compact working length that improves access and tactile feedback in confined anatomic corridors. A slim profile and close-working tips allow the operator to position and close wire ends with accuracy while maintaining visualization of the repair. The forceps-style action enables controlled compression and torque on wire without excessive hand fatigue, helping to reduce slippage during final seating of cerclage loops.
