Wire passer 8 1/2 70.0mm diameter 3.0mm (11 gauge) max capacity," phenolic handle 20.0 cm (8.0)

8.5-Inch Wire Passer with Phenolic Handle

This specialized wire passer is engineered for precision in orthopedic and soft tissue procedures, featuring a robust 70.0mm diameter shaft and a 3.0mm (11 gauge) maximum capacity. Designed to accommodate heavy-gauge wires securely, it ensures reliable passage through dense bone or tough connective tissue without bending or breaking. The integrated 20.0 cm phenolic handle provides exceptional grip stability and insulation, allowing surgeons to maintain control during critical maneuvers. Ideal for hospital operating rooms and ambulatory surgery centers, this instrument combines durability with ergonomic design, reducing hand fatigue during extended surgical sessions while maintaining strict sterility standards.

• Orthopedic fracture fixation requiring heavy-gauge K-wire placement
• Soft tissue suturing where high tensile strength is needed
• Procedures involving dense bone that resist standard needle penetration
• Surgical environments demanding insulated handles for electrocautery safety

Specifications

• Inspect the phenolic handle for cracks or chips before sterilization cycles.
• Ensure the wire channel is clear of debris to prevent jamming during use.
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for autoclaving temperature limits to preserve handle integrity.
• Store in a protective case to avoid damage to the tip and shaft.
