7″ Side Cutter – TC max. .062″

The 7″ Side Cutter – TC max. .062″ is a high-precision orthopedic surgical instrument designed for efficient and controlled cutting of fine surgical wires used in trauma, reconstructive, and orthopedic fixation procedures. Its side-cutting design provides enhanced accessibility, allowing surgeons to work effectively in confined or anatomically challenging surgical areas. This instrument is specifically engineered for cutting fine orthopedic wires with a maximum capacity of approximately .062 inches, making it highly suitable for delicate fixation procedures where precision and minimal wire distortion are essential. It is commonly used in procedures involving cerclage wires, small orthopedic fixation systems, and reconstructive applications requiring fine wire manipulation. A key feature of the 7″ Side Cutter – TC Max .062″ is the integration of tungsten carbide (TC) cutting inserts. Tungsten carbide is widely recognized in surgical instrumentation for its exceptional hardness and wear resistance. These inserts ensure long-lasting sharpness and consistent cutting efficiency, even after repeated clinical use. The result is clean, precise wire cuts with minimal deformation and enhanced surgical accuracy. Manufactured from premium medical-grade stainless steel, this side cutter offers excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and long-term durability. The satin-finished surface reduces glare under surgical lighting and provides a smooth, professional feel during handling. The robust construction ensures dependable performance in hospitals, surgical centers, and orthopedic clinics. The 7-inch ergonomic design provides an ideal balance between control and leverage, allowing surgeons to perform wire cutting with minimal effort. The handle structure is designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended procedures, improving comfort and operational efficiency. The precision-aligned jaws ensure consistent cutting action and stable performance throughout surgical use. The 7″ Side Cutter – TC Max .062″ is widely utilized in orthopedic trauma surgery, reconstructive procedures, and fine wire fixation applications. Its side-cutting configuration enhances accessibility in restricted surgical fields, allowing for efficient trimming and adjustment of wires without compromising precision. This instrument is fully compatible with standard autoclave sterilization procedures, ensuring compliance with strict hospital hygiene and infection control standards. Its reusable design makes it a cost-effective and environmentally responsible choice for medical facilities seeking durable surgical instruments. Engineered for long-term performance, the 7″ Side Cutter – TC Max .062″ combines precision craftsmanship, ergonomic design, and premium materials to meet the demanding requirements of modern orthopedic surgery. It is an essential addition to surgical instrument sets used for fine wire manipulation and orthopedic fixation procedures.
