Orthopaedic Wire

Wire Twister and Shear Cutter

Cerclage wire is an extremely useful method of fragment fixation. Use as thick a wire as seems possible.Twist evenly under tension.The best instrument is our Wire Twister/Cutter 001260. Minimise wire movement on periosteum.Tension wire banding should be performed where muscular forces must be transferred beyond a fracture or osteotomy, e.g. Tibial crest avulsion or trochanteric osteotomy. 1.0mm wire is the most useful for mid-sized dogs.All are supplied in 10 metre rolls.

• Jaws lock onto wire to enable easy twisting under tension for kink-free cerclage.The wire must be twisted under tension to create an even spiral. • Long life shear action cutter will cut 18 gauge (1.2mm) wire twisted double. • Serrated jaws grip and turn cut ends. • 001260 have fenestrated jaws. Not Tungsten Carbide. • 001261 have Tungsten Carbide jaws for extra grip. Not fenestrated. • Not designed to cut A + K Wires, Pins or fish hooks.
