How to Use

How to Use

 N/A To achieve the best results when cutting wires and pins, follow these simple steps:
  • Choose the appropriate cutter for the wire diameter you want to cut.
  • Do not exceed the maximum capacity marked on each cutter.
  • Cut wire in the middle of the jaw-not on the tip or in the corner.
  • Keep the jaw at right angles to the piece being cut. Do not twist or turn cutter.

Caution

Caution

 N/A Be sure to protect patient and O.R. personnel from flying particles (especially the eyes). The harder the metal, the farther the pieces can fly.

Important Note on Maximum Capacities

Important Note on Maximum Capacities

 N/A Modern rods and pins vary greatly in hardness and tensile strength. All maximum capacities noted are based on tests using standard strength Tecomet® implant material. Cutting material which exceeds our standard strength ratings, such as certain high strength spinal rods, may damage or shorten the life of cutting edges and voids the instrument warranty.
