Clinical Application
Precision instrument for grasping, holding and twisting small-gauge surgical wire (22 s.w.g) during cerclage fixation, sternal closure and maxillofacial wiring. The tool enables secure twist formation and controlled tensioning of wire loops where a consistent, slip-resistant grip is required to complete fixation or closure procedures.
Design & Configuration
The detachable-end design provides modularity for service, replacement or end-type interchange without removing the entire instrument from the tray. The grooved wire-holding tip centers and stabilizes 22 s.w.g wire during rotation, allowing the operator to apply consistent torque while minimizing slippage and kinking. The overall geometry is optimized to combine tactile control of the wire with the ability to form uniform twists in confined operative fields.
