Plate Bending Irons Set – 4.5 mm

Technical Specifications of Plate Bending Irons Set – 4.5 mm

A two-piece left and right paired configuration with flat solid handles, constructed from stainless steel with a matte/satin surface, provided in an autoclavable format for routine reprocessing in orthopedic use; offered in a 3.5 mm model variant.

Surgical Applications of Plate Bending Irons Set – 4.5 mm

This device supports preoperative and intraoperative preparation of 4.5 mm plates through controlled shaping, torsion, and localized angulation along targeted segments. The paired irons furnish opposing control for stabilization and structural orientation, facilitating precise handling of plate geometry prior to implantation.

Common Applications

• Contouring 4.5 mm compression and locking plates prior to implantation
• Producing controlled bends, gradual curves, and minor twists along selected plate spans
• Maintaining hole integrity while creating localized angulation adjacent to screw holes
• Using opposing left/right irons to stabilize the plate and prevent slippage during shaping
• Fine-tuning plate alignment intraoperatively to match patient-specific anatomy
• Adjusting curvature for diaphyseal or metaphyseal segments without marring the plate surface
