18 Wire Cutter Angled TC

The 18 Wire Cutter Angled TC is a heavy-duty surgical instrument engineered for cutting orthopedic wires, pins, and small rods with precision and durability. The “18” often refers to its length (approximately 18 cm), providing excellent leverage. Its angled jaws offer superior visibility and access in confined surgical sites, while the Tungsten Carbide (TC) inserts on the cutting edges provide extreme hardness and wear resistance, maintaining a sharp cutting surface far longer than standard steel. This robust tool is essential in trauma, spinal, and reconstructive orthopedic surgery for tasks like trimming K-wires and cerclage cables.

Key Features:

• Angled Jaws (18 cm length): Provide optimal visibility and leverage for cutting in deep or awkward angles.

• Tungsten Carbide (TC) Inserts: Extremely hard cutting edges for longevity and clean, flush cuts.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to cut through tough surgical stainless steel wires and pins.

• Double-Action Joint: Often features this mechanism for powerful cutting with minimal hand force.

• Essential for Orthopedics: Ideal for trimming Kirschner wires (K-wires), Steinmann pins, and cerclage cables.

• Fully Autoclavable: Designed for repeated sterilization and operating room use.
