11-1156-18 | Flat Nose Pliers
At 18 cm (7 inches), the 11-1156-18 Flat Nose Pliers provide additional working length for
manipulating flat surfaces and orthopedic hardware. The product page describes broad, flat tips
and aligned jaws, making this model particularly suited to situations where the clinician needs a
firm contact area across a flat component. The extended length also provides additional reach
compared with shorter plier configurations.
For surgical teams selecting bone surgery instruments, the 11-1156-18 offers a useful hardware-handling option
for procedures involving plates, implants, and other suitable flat surfaces.
Why the 18 cm format matters:
● 18 cm length: Provides increased reach when the surgical site is deeper or when
additional hand clearance is useful.
● Broad flat tips: Create a wider contact area for gripping flat components.
● Aligned jaws: Support consistent contact when manipulating hardware.
● Hardware applications: Useful for plate fixation, hardware placement, and implant
manipulation where the flat profile is appropriate.
● Extended leverage: The longer format can provide additional leverage for controlled
bending or contouring tasks when clinically appropriate.
A longer plier should be selected because its reach and leverage match the surgical task, not
simply because it is larger. The 11-1156-18 gives clinicians another option when a shorter flat
nose instrument does not provide sufficient working distance.
Its dedicated configuration makes it useful in orthopedic and trauma procedure sets where
hardware manipulation is part of the surgical workflow. Add this 18 cm flat nose plier to your
orthopedic inventory.
