Wire Twister & Tightener
6-1/4" (15.9 cm)Wire Twister and Tightener is a unique instrument designed for use in manipulation of wires in a variety of neurosurgical procedures. This instrument features ring handles which allow for it to be comfortably manipulated manually. Additionally there is a ratcheting mechanism that allows it to be set at a certain width and locked in to prevent slippage during the procedure. The jaws of this tool are crafted to effectively grasp wires of different gauges used in surgery.
Wire Twisting Forceps
13.0 mm jaw length, 5-1/2" (14.0 cm)Â Wire Twisting Forceps are specially designed forceps required to manipulate and twist off wire after it has been secured. Many procedures require the use of wire to stabilize a graft or to give the areas that was operated on additional support. This confers additionally stability thus reducing likelihood of trauma during the recovery period. Often the wire segments that are inserted must be secured by twisting. This instrument features jaws with serrations on them that allow for reduced slippage.
Wolfe-Boehler Plaster Breaker
deep jaw serrations Wolff-Boehler Plaster Breaker is an instrument that features deep jaw serrations making it specifically designed for creating force to break through a cast that has been set with plaster. A variety of surgical procedures, specifically those that are intended to repair fractures necessitate that the bones are maintained in a specific alignment as they heal. In order to do this particular regions are set in plaster casts and when it comes time for removal this breaker can effectively aid in that process. This instrument is available in two lengths 8" and 9.5".

Young Renal Pedicle Clamp
Curved, longitudinal serrations w/ cross serrations at tip, 9" (22.9 cm)
Young Renal Pedicle Clamp is ideal for open kidney operations and can be used to clamp thick tissue.

Longitudinal serrations with cross serrations at the tip also serve the purpose of providing a better grip at the tissue or artery being held.
Zep-Type Atraumatic Hysterectomy Forceps – Offset
Zep-Type Atraumatic Hysterectomy Forceps – Straight
Zep-Type Parametrium Scissors, tungsten carbide, serrated
Zep-Type Parametrium Scissors are commonly used in gynecology to clamp and cut parametrium or uterine tissue during hysterectomy procedures. The curvature of these scissors complements that of the ZEP-Type hysterectomy forceps/clamps. scissors combine the performance and precision of supercut with the durability of tungsten carbide cutting edges. These scissors: 1) feature tungsten carbide inlays on both blades for increased durability, sharper cutting edges and enhanced service life; 2) have one standard blade and one with serrations to prevent tissue slippage; and 3) feature gold-plated handles.
