Wire Cutter
CXOrthoSupply has released its new CX PRECISION Cutters. According to the company, the non-slip, matte finish on the handle improves grip. Diamond-honed edges enable cutting with only the tip of the instrument, improving access to hard-to-reach areas. The flat arm provides better “catch” of excess wire after cutting compared with round-arm cutters. The design has no adjustable parts, reducing wear and tear from autoclaving or mishandling.
