Description
Flat Nose Plier Pointed
These pointed flat nose pliers have jaws that taper to a narrow point. The slim tips reach into tight spaces and grip fine wire precisely.
Why a pointed tip
Broad jaws can block the view of small work. In contrast, tapered tips leave the target visible. Therefore fine bends near bone become easier.
Size
The pliers measure 18 cm. That length gives good leverage while the tips stay delicate. In addition, it suits both bedside and theater use.
Who uses pointed flat nose pliers
Hand surgeons shape fine Kirschner wires with them. Also, trauma surgeons bend wire ends close to bone. Maxillofacial teams find them useful for fine wire.
Fine bends
Grip the wire near the tip of the jaws for small bends. Then rotate the wrist slightly. As a result, the bend forms exactly where you want.
Avoid overloading
Pointed tips are less suited to heavy wire. Consequently, use a broader plier for thick cerclage. That protects the tips.
Where pointed tips excel
Fine wires near joints and tendons need careful handling. Consequently, the slim tips let you work without disturbing nearby tissue. They also suit small hardware.
