Sklar Demel Bone Wire Guide, 10-3/4"
An orthopedic wire guide instrument used to direct the safe passage of surgical wire through bone during fracture fixation and reconstructive procedures.
The Sklar Demel Bone Wire Guide is an orthopedic surgical instrument used to direct the safe and accurate passage of guide wire through bone during fracture fixation, bone reconstruction and related orthopedic procedures. The 10-3/4 inch reference described here provides the surgeon with a controlled channel for wire placement, helping to reduce the risk of the wire deviating from the intended trajectory as it passes through cortical and cancellous bone.
Orthopedic surgeons use bone wire guides of this type when planning and executing wire fixation techniques, such as tension band wiring or provisional fixation prior to definitive hardware placement. This listing covers three available lengths, from 10-3/4 inches up to 12 inches, allowing surgeons to select the option best suited to the specific bone and surgical approach involved in a given case.
Orthopedic surgery centres and hospitals with a trauma or reconstructive orthopedic service typically stock more than one length of wire guide to accommodate the range of bones and fixation techniques encountered across their caseload.
