Available elsewhere for £1000 or more.AO PLATE BENDING PLIERS001289A AO Plate Bending Pliers 2.0/2.7mm £335.00001289B AO Plate Bending Pliers 2.7/3.5mm £385.00Heavy Duty Bone Plate Pliers to 4.5mmTips on the use of the platepliers• These notes apply to all bone platepliers.• The pliers work at maximum efficiencywhen the handles are approximatelyparallel with each other.• Place the plate to be contoured in between the anvils.• Ajust the gap between the anvils using screw B until the handles areparallel with each other.• Squeezing the handles together will bend the plate.• Readjust the pliers using screw B to bring the handles parallel onceagain.• Contouring the plate should be accomplished using several smalladjustments rather than one big one.Removal of embedded screws can be a challenge particularly when fatigueand fracture leaves a headless portion of screw in situ exactly where areplacement is necessary. Ideally the screw should be removed withoutcreating so much damage that a replacement cannot be set. The VI ScrewSalvage Set contains all the tools you might need for all sizes of screw.A loan set is also available. The charge is for 7 days rental and includes areturn collection by courier. All losses and breakages will be chargedaccordingly.

The bending head has 3 interchangeable anvilsand the ‘hammer’ side has 3 different shapes which rotate. This offersthe surgeon 6 different contouring options to match different plates anddifferent shapes.HEAVY DUTY PLATE BENDING PLIERS001289C Heavy Duty Plate Bending Pliers £545.00001289SA Small Anvil for 2.7 Plates (for existing users) £50.00Bending TemplatesTo avoid repeated entry into the operation site when contouringplates, an ‘aluminium' bending template is contoured to thebone. The steel plate is then bent to match the template using irons or abone plate press.BENDING TEMPLATESBT200737 Bending Template 37mm for 2mm DCPs & Round Hole Plates £8.25BT240752 Bending Template 52mm for 2.4mm DCPs & Round Hole Plates £8.25BT270760 Bending Template 60mm for 2.7 DCPs & Round Hole Plates £8.25BT350786 Bending Template 86mm for 3.5 DCPs & Round Hole Plates £9.25BT450590Bending Template 90mm for 4.5 DCPsBroad 3.5 DCPs & HD & Round Hole Plates £9.25BT4507120 Bending Template 120mm for 4.5 DCPs& Broad 3.5 DCPs & HD & Round Hole Plates £9.25BT4509150 Bending Template 150mm for 4.5 DCPsBroad 3.5 DCPs & HD & Round Hole Plates £9.25Once the head of a screwhas become detached theshaft can be very difficult toextract, particularly whenthe screw has been in situfor some time. The ScrewExtraction Trephine isdesigned to ‘core out’ thescrew shaft either in itsentirety or partially to allowthe screw to be grasped byextraction forceps. The internal diameter is a little larger than the screw tobe extracted. The external diameter is small enough in most cases to allowthe replacement of the screw by a larger one.The Trephine fits directly into a Jacobs Chuck.SCREW EXTRACTION TREPHINESSCET20 Extraction Trephine for 2.0 Screws o/d 2.7mm £47.50SCET24 Extraction Trephine for 2.4 Screws o/d 3.5mm £47.50SCET27 Extraction Trephine for 2.7 Screws o/d 3.5mm £47.50SCET35 Extraction Trephine for 3.5 Screws o/d 4.5mm £47.50SCET45 Extraction Trephine for 4.5 Screws o/d 5.5mm £47.50SCETSET Extraction Trephine Set (one of each in free Steel Case) £225.00169
