The 9.5″ Double Action Pin Cutter Side Cutting is a high-performance orthopedic surgical instrument engineered for precise cutting of orthopedic pins, Kirschner wires (K-wires), and fixation wires during trauma and reconstructive procedures. Its double-action mechanism increases mechanical advantage, allowing surgeons to cut orthopedic hardware with reduced hand force while maintaining excellent precision and control.

With an overall length of 9.5 inches (approximately 24 cm), this instrument provides an ideal combination of leverage, maneuverability, and balance. The side-cutting jaw design allows clinicians to access protruding pins and wires from the side, making it easier to trim fixation materials close to the surgical site while maintaining clear visibility.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the pin cutter is designed to withstand demanding surgical environments and repeated sterilization. Its corrosion-resistant construction preserves cutting performance, structural strength, and professional appearance through continuous clinical use.

The precision-ground cutting edges produce clean and consistent cuts, while the robust double-action joint distributes force efficiently, reducing operator fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks. The ergonomically designed handles provide a secure, comfortable grip that improves instrument control throughout orthopedic procedures.

Fully reusable and autoclavable, the 9.5″ Double Action Pin Cutter Side Cutting is widely used in hospitals, orthopedic operating rooms, trauma centers, and surgical facilities. It is an essential instrument for fracture fixation, implant management, and orthopedic procedures requiring reliable cutting performance.
