Wire Cutting Plier Tungsten Carbide Tip

Here are some common uses of these pliers in orthopedics:

• Kirschner Wire (K-wire) Removal
  In orthopedic surgeries, K-wires are often used as temporary fixation devices. Once the bones have healed sufficiently, the K-wires need to be removed. Wire cutting pliers with tungsten carbide tips provide a precise and efficient means of cutting and removing the K-wires without damaging the surrounding tissues.
• Cerclage Wire Removal
  Cerclage wires are used in procedures where a loop of wire is wrapped around fractured bones to provide stability. After the bone has healed, the cerclage wires need to be removed. These pliers allow surgeons to cut through the wires cleanly and safely during the removal process.
• Ligature Wire Cutting
  Ligature wires are often used in orthopedic procedures to secure tendons, ligaments, or other soft tissues. Wire cutting pliers with tungsten carbide tips offer precise cutting capability, enabling surgeons to safely release the ligatures.
• Tendon and Soft Tissue Cutting: In certain procedures, this instrument can be used to cut tendons or soft tissues with accuracy. They provide a clean and controlled cut, allowing for precise tissue manipulation or release.
