KMedic Side Cutter Wire and Pin Cutter | Model KM 46-621 | Welded Tungsten Carbide Jaws | Heavy-Duty Manual Orthopedic Maxillofacial Bone Fixation Instrument

The KMedic KM 46-621 is a professional-grade manual surgical cutter expertly engineered to cleanly shear through orthopedic fixation wires, skeletal pins, and structural cerclage cables during internal fracture fixation and maxillofacial reconstruction. Featuring ultra-hard, welded tungsten carbide jaw inserts, this instrument delivers high-leverage compound cutting action without dulling or pitting the blade margins. The side-cutting jaw architecture allows the surgeon to cut flush against bone surfaces, minimizing sharp protrusions that could cause localized soft tissue irritation or tendon fraying postoperatively.
