Reill Wire Cutting Pliers

Description

Reill Wire Cutting Pliers

The Reill wire cutter is an 18 cm cutter with tungsten carbide edges. It trims surgical wire cleanly and holds its edge through repeated use.

Carbide edges

Carbide inserts resist wear far better than plain steel edges. Therefore the cutter keeps its bite through hard wire for longer. Also, that reduces resharpening.

Size

At 18 cm, the cutter balances leverage and control. Meanwhile, it fits easily on trays. It suits fine and medium wire.

Who uses the Reill wire cutter

Trauma and hand surgeons cut Kirschner wires and cerclage wire. Also, maxillofacial teams cut fine wire. Ward staff use it during wire removal.

Clean cuts

Place the wire deep in the cutting edges. Then squeeze firmly in one motion. A clean cut leaves fewer sharp burrs.

Respect the rating

Very thick pins need a heavier cutter. Consequently, use this one for wire, not large pins. Additionally, that protects the carbide.

Value of carbide

Carbide cutters cost more to make, yet they last longer between services. Therefore busy units often save in the long run. Fewer dull cuts also mean less frustration.
