Wire Tensioner Mechanical
+ Description
The Mechanical Wire Tensioner is a precision surgical instrument used to apply controlled tension to orthopedic wires (typically Ilizarov or K-wire systems) during the assembly of circular external fixators. The mechanical design allows for measured, repeatable tensioning, improving frame stability and patient outcomes. It is compatible with various wire diameters (usually Ø1.5–2.0MM) and ensures even wire loading across the fixator rings. Material: Frame & Tension Arm: Surgical-grade Stainless Steel (AISI 304/316) Dial/Indicator Parts: Anodized Aluminum or Stainless Steel Gripping Components: Hardened Tool Steel Finish: Satin or matte for anti-glare, corrosion-resistant Sterilization: Fully autoclavable
+ Indications
- Ilizarov Wire Tensioning – Applying tension to wires in Ilizarov and circular external fixation systems.
- Prevents Complications – Ensures equal load distribution and minimizes wire migration or loosening.
- Surgical Applications – Used in procedures like limb lengthening, fracture stabilization, and deformity correction.
- Broad Suitability – Suitable for both adult and pediatric orthopedics.
+ Key Features
- Mechanical Tension Control – Manual screw or lever mechanism allows for accurate, incremental tensioning.
- Calibrated Scale (optional) – Shows tension level for consistency and safety.
- Universal Compatibility – Works with Ilizarov wires of Ø1.5–2.0MM.
- Non-slip Wire Grip – Secures the wire firmly during the tensioning process.
- Durable & Reusable – Built for repeated surgical and sterilization cycles.
