Surgical Wire-Cutting Scissors

Description

St (Straight) Wire Cutting Scissors are scissor‑style cutters for veterinary orthopedic and spinal procedures. They provide controlled trimming and safe manipulation of cerclage wire, K‑wires, and Steinmann pins within the instrument’s rated capacity. Long shanks and short, straight blades enable precise access to confined fields, helping maintain visibility and accuracy around implants and bone.

Key features

• Finger‑ring handles offer a secure grip and fine control.
• Long shanks with short, straight blades (St) support precise, perpendicular cuts.
• Notched cutting edges available to stabilize wire and reduce slippage during cutting.
• Versions with tungsten carbide (TC) cutting inserts available for enhanced edge durability.

Materials and reprocessing

• Manufactured from surgical‑grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
• Autoclavable/sterilizable and reusable when reprocessed according to standard clinical protocols.
• TC‑insert options provide wear resistance for frequent cutting of harder wires within rated capacity.

Variations and selection

• Offered in multiple sizes and patterns to suit procedure and access needs.
• Straight (St) configuration; angled variants exist in the broader instrument family.
• Available with or without blade notch; cutting capacity and compatible wire diameters vary by model.
• Select size and insert option according to the wire/pin diameter and the specific procedural requirements.
