Useful for bending, holding and cutting small pins and wires. Used in conjunction with bone plate benders for contouring smaller plates. Will cut arthrodesis and ‘K’ wires to a maximum of 2.0mm with care. The industrial version will stain and rust with autoclaving – lubricate well to reduce, and store dry.
Useful general purpose bone holder for maintaining reduction during I/M pinning. Can also be used during plating procedures, passing drills & screws through the jaw centre.
The description cortical means that the pilot hole must be pre-tapped prior to screw placement. Cortical Self Tapping means that the screw itself has a self tapping tip and cuts its own thread. Self tappers work very well in all but the hardest cortical bone. It recommended that surgeons using self tappers keep a tap ‘just in case’. Each Kit contains all you need including screws and implants.
