Harvey Wire Cutting Pliers

Description

Harvey Wire Cutting Pliers

The Harvey wire cutter is a long cutting plier for cerclage and fixation wire. It comes at 23 cm and 23.5 cm.

Leverage for wire

Long handles reduce the effort needed to cut hard wire. Therefore thicker cerclage wire cuts cleanly. The jaws stay aligned under load.

Two lengths

The 23 cm and 23.5 cm versions differ only slightly. Consequently, choice comes down to feel. Moreover, both suit general wiring.

Who uses the Harvey wire cutter

Trauma surgeons trim cerclage wire around long bones. Also, they cut wire in tension band fixation. Ward staff may use it during wire removal.

Cutting near bone

Cut close to the twist but leave enough to bend down. Then fold the end flat against bone. That reduces irritation.

Pairing

A wire tightener tensions the wire first. Then this cutter trims it. Many sets carry both.

Thicker wire

Cerclage wire for the femur is thicker than hand wire. Therefore it needs a longer cutter with more leverage. In addition, the Harvey fills that role.
