1. NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-1354-70 | Wire Tightener /
Twister
Cerclage fixation depends on more than simply placing wire around a fracture. The wire must be
held securely, tensioned in a controlled manner, and twisted without losing the surgeon’s grip.
NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-1354-70 Wire Tightener / Twister is intended for this part of fracture
fixation, giving the operator a firm way to manipulate wire during skeletal stabilization.
The working end engages the wire while the handle provides the leverage needed for controlled
twisting. This is particularly useful when working around cortical fragments, plates, or other
fixation components where unrestricted hand movement may be difficult. As part of a carefully
selected set of bone surgery instruments, it can support cerclage work in trauma
and reconstructive procedures.
Practical advantages include:
● A dedicated wire-engaging tip helps maintain control while twisting or tightening.
● The elongated profile provides useful reach when wire is positioned around deeper bone
structures.
● Its rigid construction supports rotational manipulation without relying on delicate
components.
● The handle allows the surgeon to apply measured manual force rather than making
abrupt movements.
For orthopedic teams, a wire twister is most valuable when it behaves predictably during the
final stages of cerclage application. It can help create orderly wire wraps and maintain control
around fracture sites where precision matters. Its reusable stainless steel construction also
makes it appropriate for instrument sets subjected to routine cleaning and sterilization.
Add SKU 11-1354-70 to your fracture fixation set for controlled wire manipulation.
