Description
Positioning:
The K-wire is inserted laterally in one of the slots of the lower jaw.
Bending:
During the bending operation, the pin is pushed backwards by the nose of the upper jaw and guided by a small groove. The right lateral slot of the plier’s lower jaw can hold pins measuring 1.6 mm or 1.2 mm in diameter. The left hand slot, which is smaller, can hold pins measuring 1 mm or 1.2 mm in diameter.
Cutting
The pin is fully inserted into the cutting aperture (like a cigar cutter). MANOTTE cuts by shearing (like a cigar cutter) and not by crushing. As a result, the cutting surface on the end of the pin is clean and burr-free, unlike the surface with standard cutting instruments. Photographs of cuts on a 1.6 mm diameter Kirschner wire.
