Wire Cutter B-29 – Surgical Wire Cutting Scissors

Surgical wire cutting requires a tool that goes far beyond standard scissors. The B-29 Wire Cutter is built with a robust blade geometry and a reinforced pivot that can shear stainless steel wire in a single controlled motion. The notched cutting edge secures the wire during the cut, preventing it from slipping and ensuring a clean, blunt-end finish that minimises sharp wire hazards in the operative field. The ring-handle design provides the leverage needed to close the blades against wire resistance without excessive hand strain. Manufactured in surgical-grade stainless steel with a satin finish, the B-29 is autoclavable and built for repeated use across the service life of a busy operating theatre set.

Applications & Clinical Uses

The B-29 Wire Cutter is used for cutting stainless steel wire in sternal closure after open cardiac surgery, cerclage wire in orthopaedic bone fixation (patella, clavicle, mandible), spinal wire applications, and wherever surgical wire must be cut cleanly in an OT environment.
