Standard Plate Bending Iron – 9.5-Inch Stainless Steel Instrument for 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm Orthopedic Plates

A Bending Iron for Standard Plates is a specialized orthopedic instrument designed to contour and shape standard-sized bone plates during surgical procedures. These tools ensure that bone plates conform accurately to the anatomical structures they are intended to support, promoting effective stabilization and healing.

Key Features:

• Design: Features a slotted head that securely grips the plate, allowing precise bending without causing damage.
• Sizes: Typically accommodates standard plates ranging from 3.5 mm to 4.5 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 9.5 inches (241 mm), providing adequate leverage while maintaining maneuverability.
• Slit Widths: Commonly available slit widths correspond to standard plate sizes, such as 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm.
• Finish: Satin or matte finish to reduce glare under surgical lighting conditions.
• Sterility: Supplied non-sterile; requires proper sterilization prior to surgical use.
