ABOUT ORTHOMED WIRE AND PIN CUTTERS

In the past, surgeons have often had to rely on hardware store quality cutters made with inferior metals that can contaminate and ruin stainless steel instrumentation. Now OrthoMed can meet all of your wire and pin cutting requirements with our complete line of stainless steel cutting instruments.

Made From Stainless Steel €“ All of our wire cutters are engineered to meet the demanding needs of cutting rods, pins, cables and wires in the Operating Room. Jaws are made from the toughest specially-tempered tool steel or have tungsten carbide inserts.

More Cutting Power €“ Cutters designed with double action give you more cutting power and help absorb the shock of wire cutting. For the surgeon there is better control and less fatigue.

Most Extensive Selection €“ We offer more jaw and handle styles than any other instrument company.

Note on Carbide Instruments €“ Instruments with carbide inserts can be replaced, however, welded carbide jaws cannot be replaced.

To Achieve the Best Results When Cutting Wires and Pins, Follow these Simple Steps:

  • Choose the appropriate cutter for the wire diameter you want to cut.
  • Do not exceed the maximum capacity marked on each cutter.
  • Cut wire in the middle of the jaw€“not on the tip or in the corner.
  • Keep the jaw at right angles to the piece being cut.Do not twist or turn cutter.

Caution: Be sure to protect patient and O.R. personnel from flying particles (especially the eyes). The harder the metal, the farther the pieces can fly.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON MAXIMUM CAPACITIES

Modern rods and pins vary greatly in hardness and tensile strength. All maximum capacities noted are based on tests using standard strength implant material. Cutting material which exceeds our standard strength ratings, such as certain high strength spinal rods, may damage or shorten the life of cutting edges and voids the instrument warranty. If you're not sure whether our cutter can handle your material, give us a call at (800) 547-5571
