BARRY-STERNDAL 18.5 cm: cross-jaw twisting pliers for a stable and controlled grip on wire
The BARRY-STERNDAL 18.5 cm pliers from Frimed are specifically designed to meet the precision and strength requirements of orthopaedic and bone surgery. Unlike other instruments with the same name, this version is distinguished by its straight shape, serrated jaws and the complete absence of a cutting area.
The jaws feature clear cross-grooves, ensuring optimal grip on surgical metal wires, even during sustained twisting. The addition of tungsten carbide inserts enhances slip-free holding capacity while extending the instrument's service life, even with intensive use.
At 18.5 cm long, the forceps offer a good balance between control and reach, allowing deep working in the surgical field without compromising precision. The ring handles are designed to fit comfortably in the surgeon's hand, reducing fatigue during prolonged use.
This model is mainly used for placing metal cerclages, temporarily holding bone structures in place, or fixing wires in situations where stable wire retention is crucial. Its reliability and robustness make it a basic instrument in orthopaedic surgical sets.
