Pin Cutter Double Action, For Wires Up to Ø 3.2 mm

Description

Pin Cutter Double Action For Wires Upto

The double action pin cutter is a compact, 23 cm cutter for wires up to 3.2 mm. Its compound joint gives strong cutting force in a small size.

Double action

Two pivots multiply the force of the hand. Therefore a short cutter can still shear hard wire. In addition, that keeps the instrument compact.

Size and rating

The cutter is 23 cm long and rated for 3.2 mm. As a result, it suits Kirschner wires and fine pins. Larger pins need a larger cutter.

Who uses a double action pin cutter

Hand and foot surgeons trim Kirschner wires. Also, trauma surgeons use it for small fixation wires. Moreover, it suits pediatric fracture work.

Technique

Shield the wire end and place it deep in the jaws. Then squeeze smoothly. Check that the cut end is not sharp.

Compact convenience

A small cutter fits on crowded hand trays. Consequently, the surgeon can cut wires without calling for a large cutter. Also, that saves time.

Why size matters

A cutter rated for 3.2 mm stays light and easy to handle. In contrast, larger cutters can feel clumsy in a small field. Therefore hand surgeons often prefer this compact model.
