K-wire cutter 5 1/2 end cutting TC jaws, cuts up to 0.045(1.1mm)

Controlled K-Wire Cutting for General and Orthopedic Workflows

The K-wire cutter is an end-cutting instrument designed to trim Kirschner wires during surgical workflows. Its 5 1/2-inch length supports practical handling and access, while tungsten carbide jaws are configured to cut wires up to 0.045 inch (1.1 mm). The end-cutting profile helps position the jaws directly at the wire for a focused cutting action, supporting efficient wire management in General Surgery and Orthopedic settings. Its dedicated cutter format keeps the task distinct from gripping or manipulating instruments, helping teams select an appropriately configured tool when K-wire adjustment is required.

Use Cases

• Cut K-wires to the required length during orthopedic procedures and related wire-management tasks.
• Trim compatible Kirschner wire sizes up to 0.045 inch (1.1 mm) using the end-cutting jaws.
• Support General Surgery workflows where K-wire cutting is required as part of instrument-assisted wire management.
• Use the 5 1/2-inch format for controlled handling when positioning the cutter at the wire end.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the cutter according to facility protocols and the applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the tungsten carbide jaws before use for visible damage, chips, misalignment, or compromised cutting surfaces.
• Handle the cutting jaws carefully and avoid using the instrument on wire sizes or materials outside its stated cutting capacity.
• Store the cutter in a manner that protects the jaws from impact and contact with other instruments.
