Small Plate Bending Iron – 5.5-Inch Stainless Steel Instrument for 2.0 mm to 3.5 mm Orthopedic Plates

A Bending Iron for Small Plates is a specialized orthopedic instrument designed to contour and shape small bone plates during surgical procedures. These tools are essential for ensuring that bone plates conform accurately to the anatomical structures they are intended to support, thereby promoting effective stabilization and healing.

Key Features:

• Design: Typically features a slotted head that securely grips the plate, allowing precise bending without causing damage.
• Sizes: Available in various sizes to accommodate different plate dimensions, commonly designed for plates ranging from 2.0 mm to 3.5 mm in thickness.
• Material: Constructed from high-quality, medical-grade stainless steel, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of sterilization.
• Usage: Often used in pairs to facilitate controlled and uniform bending of the plate to the desired contour.

Technical Specifications:

• Length: Approximately 5.5 inches (14 cm), providing adequate leverage while maintaining maneuverability.
• Slit Widths: Commonly available slit widths include 2.1 mm, 2.7 mm, 3.1 mm, and 3.5 mm, corresponding to standard plate sizes.
• Finish: Satin or matte finish to reduce glare under surgical lighting conditions.
