Corwin-Hegar Wire Twisting Forceps

The Corwin-Hegar wire twister is a compact, 15 cm forceps with tungsten carbide jaws. It grips and twists fine surgical wire.

Compact and precise

A short forceps suits small fields. Therefore it works well in hand and facial wiring. Besides, the carbide jaws hold firmly.

The Hegar heritage

The pattern borrows from the Hegar needle holder design. Consequently, it feels familiar to surgeons. In addition, the jaws are adapted for wire.

Who uses the Corwin-Hegar wire twister

Hand and maxillofacial surgeons use it most. Also, small fragment teams use it for tension band wiring. Furthermore, it suits pediatric work.

Fine twisting

Use light tension and steady rotation. Then stop once the twist is firm. Fine wire breaks if overtwisted.

Pairing

Combine it with a fine wire cutter. As a result, both twisting and trimming stay precise. Moreover, many hand sets carry both.

Small wiring cases

Small cases such as finger tension bands need a light touch. Therefore a compact twister helps avoid overtwisting. Also, it pairs naturally with fine wire.
