Description
Flat Nose Plier Lateral Curve Adjustable Jaw
These adjustable jaw pliers have a laterally curved jaw that adjusts to the work. The curve reaches wire at an angle, and the adjustment tunes the grip.
Lateral curve
A sideways curve lets the jaws reach around obstacles. Therefore wire can be gripped where straight pliers cannot reach. Moreover, that helps near frames and bone.
Adjustable jaw
The adjustable jaw changes how the pliers grip. The listing does not describe the mechanism in detail. Please contact us if you need more information.
Who uses adjustable jaw pliers
Trauma surgeons use them on wires near fixators. Also, scrub staff use them to grip awkwardly placed parts. They suit revision work too.
Technique
Set the jaw for the wire size first. Then approach from the side and grip firmly. Bend or pull as needed.
Size
At 18 cm, the pliers give good reach and leverage. Consequently, they suit medium wire. Besides, they fit standard trays.
Reaching around frames
External fixators crowd the space around wires. Therefore a curved jaw reaches where straight pliers cannot. That helps during frame adjustments.
