Baumgartner Wire Twisting Pliers: Maximum Leverage for Heavy Cerclage

The Baumgartner Wire Twisting Pliers 20cm from Adas Instruments is the professional standard for procedures requiring the manipulation of heavy-gauge surgical wires. Crafted from premium German Stainless Steel, these pliers are built to withstand the extreme torsional forces necessary for securing sternal closures or large-bone cerclage without bending or slipping.

Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy

Baumgartner Wire Twisting Pliers 20cm Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Baumgartner twister undergoes a rigorous passivation and boil-test process to ensure maximum longevity and rust prevention. The heavy-duty jaws of Baumgartner Wire Twisting Pliers 20cm feature a cross-serrated pattern that creates multiple points of contact, ensuring the wire remains locked in place during the twisting motion. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the robust box-joint construction maintains perfect jaw of Baumgartner Wire Twisting Pliers 20cm alignment even under maximum compression.

Surgical Applications

• Cardiothoracic Surgery: The primary tool for twisting stainless steel wires during the approximation of the sternum following open-heart surgery.
• Orthopedic Trauma: Used to secure heavy cerclage wires around femoral or humeral fractures to maintain anatomical reduction.
• Maxillofacial Reconstruction: Facilitates the twisting of thicker wires used in complex mandibular or cranial fixations.

Care and Maintenance Section

Due to the high-stress nature of wire twisting, the jaws of Baumgartner Wire Twisting Pliers 20cm should be inspected regularly for wear on the serrations. To maintain smooth operation, apply surgical-grade lubricant to the box joint after every sterilization cycle. It is fully autoclavable and designed for heavy clinical reuse.
