double-action, 7-1/4″ (18.4 cm) Parallel Pliers & Wire Cutter is a two-in one instrument with double-action jaws that can be used for the removal and insertion of pins but also in cutting pins and wire. Wire can be used in surgery to stabilize and approximate fracture repair or by being inserted directly through skin and bone to provide traction on the bone. This instrument can be used in shaping and crafting the wire or pins but also can be used to cut through to make it the length that is required.
