Surgical Applications of Wire Tightening Forceps – TC 16 cm

This device supports controlled manipulation of orthopedic wire loops and ends for stabilization, orientation, and secure handling within cerclage and tension band constructs. It aids intraoperative preparation by holding, turning, and aligning wire segments around bony contours or through drill holes while preserving a stable working hold.

Common Applications

• Stabilizing cerclage wire loops around bony structures during construct preparation.
• Assisting tension band wiring by securing the strand for controlled turning and orientation.
• Guiding and holding wire ends as they pass through prepared drill holes.
• Facilitating targeted bending and alignment of wire ends before final seating.
• Repositioning wire within a fixation construct while maintaining a consistent grasp.
