Surgical Pin Cutters

Share  | 

They are cutting tools used to cut the wires and pins implanted during the orthopedic surgeries to fix the fractures. They are forged from stainless steel and reinforced with tungsten carbide or specially tempered tool steel.

There are different side and end cutters used for pins and wires of different gauges. The handles are so formed that they are able to provide more power for cutting and absorb the jerk of wire cutting. The carbide inserts in the jaws can be replaced to enhance the life of the tool.

The cutter must be selected as per the pin diameter. The cutter diameter capacity shold not be surpassed as it damages the cutter. Further instead of the ends of the cutting edge, the center of the edge should be used.
