The Dermatology & Holloware 7″ Pliers – Wire Extractor 4mm “TC” are premium-quality orthopedic surgical pliers engineered for the efficient removal of orthopedic wires, Kirschner wires (K-wires), Steinmann pins, and other metallic fixation devices. Designed for precision, durability, and dependable performance, these extraction pliers are widely used in orthopedic, trauma, hand, and reconstructive surgical procedures where controlled implant removal is essential.

With an overall length of 7 inches (approximately 18 cm), these wire extractor pliers provide an ideal combination of leverage, control, and maneuverability. The balanced design enables surgeons to apply consistent extraction force while maintaining excellent tactile feedback, even in confined operative fields.

The instrument features 4mm tungsten carbide (TC) gripping jaws, specifically designed to securely engage orthopedic wires and metallic implants without excessive slippage. Tungsten carbide inserts are significantly harder than standard stainless steel, offering outstanding wear resistance, prolonged service life, and superior gripping performance. The 4mm jaw capacity is ideal for handling small to medium-diameter surgical wires commonly used in fracture fixation and orthopedic reconstruction.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Wire Extractor Pliers provide exceptional corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and long-term durability. Precision engineering ensures accurate jaw alignment, smooth articulation, and reliable clinical performance throughout repeated surgical use.

The ergonomic handles are designed to deliver a comfortable and secure grip, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged procedures. The precision box lock joint maintains stable jaw alignment, allowing surgeons to perform controlled wire extraction with confidence. Gold-colored handles identify the instrument as a tungsten carbide model, enabling quick recognition within orthopedic instrument sets.

The satin matte finish minimizes glare from operating room lighting, improving visibility during delicate extraction procedures. Fully autoclavable and reusable, the instrument is designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles while preserving its gripping efficiency and structural integrity.

The 7″ Wire Extractor Pliers – 4mm TC are commonly used for orthopedic hardware removal, trauma surgery, fracture fixation revision, hand surgery, foot and ankle surgery, and reconstructive procedures. They are particularly effective during implant removal surgeries requiring secure engagement and controlled extraction of orthopedic wires and fixation devices.

Manufactured under strict quality control standards, these reusable surgical pliers deliver exceptional durability, consistent performance, and long-term reliability, making them an essential addition to professional orthopedic surgical instrument sets.
