Automatic Wire Twisting Forceps: Precision Cerclage & Fixation
The Automatic Wire Twisting Forceps from Adas Instruments is an essential tool for surgeons who require speed and consistency when securing surgical wires. This instrument is crafted from premium German Stainless Steel, incorporating a mechanical drive that converts a simple pulling or squeezing motion into a precise rotational twist, significantly reducing operative time in complex fixation procedures.
Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy
Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each wire twister undergoes a rigorous passivation and boil-test process to ensure maximum longevity and resistance to the high mechanical stresses of wire manipulation. The jaws are specifically hardened to grip stainless steel wires without slipping, while the internal automatic mechanism is shielded to prevent debris interference. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring each twist provides symmetrical tension for optimal bone approximation.
Surgical Applications
- Maxillofacial Surgery: Frequently used for Intermaxillary Fixation (IMF) and securing arch bars to the dentition.
- Orthopedic Trauma: Essential for applying cerclage wires around long bone fractures to maintain anatomical reduction.
- Cardiothoracic Surgery: Provides a fast and reliable method for twisting sternal wires during chest closure.
Care and Maintenance Section
Due to the internal moving parts of the automatic mechanism, this instrument requires thorough cleaning and lubrication. We recommend using a surgical-grade lubricant (instrument milk) after every cleaning cycle to ensure the rotation remains smooth. It is fully autoclavable; however, it should be sterilized in the “unlocked” or “open” position. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
People Also Ask
How does the automatic mechanism work?
By pulling the handle or sliding the central nut (depending on the specific model), the jaws are forced to rotate, creating a perfect twist in the wire without needing to manually turn your wrist.
What wire gauges can these forceps handle?
They are generally optimized for wires ranging from 0.2mm to 1.0mm in diameter, depending on the jaw size.
Are the jaws replaceable?
The standard stainless steel jaws are integrated, but we offer Tungsten Carbide (TC) tipped versions for increased durability and grip longevity.
