Wolvek Sternal Crimper – Surgical Wire Cutting Forceps – 11-1349-00

22. NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-1349-00, Bone Tap /
Threading Tap
When a drilled bone channel needs internal threads before screw insertion, the tapping stage
requires a cutting instrument designed specifically for that purpose. The NextEdge Surgical
11-1349-00 Bone Tap / Threading Tap provides the surgeon with a manual means of forming
threads inside prepared bone.

Its fluted cutting section engages the inner wall of the drilled channel as the tap advances. The
cutting geometry allows material to be removed progressively while the surgeon maintains direct
control over the rotational movement.

The 11-1349-00 offers several practical characteristics:

●​ Ground cutting flutes: The flutes create the thread profile while providing pathways for
removed bone material.

●​ Controlled advancement: Manual rotation allows the surgeon to regulate how quickly
the tap progresses through the prepared channel.
●​ Standardized connection: The end is intended for use with a compatible manual
handle.
●​ Rigid construction: The shaft supports rotational force during thread preparation.

This tap can be incorporated into orthopedic fixation sets where threaded bone preparation
forms part of the selected screw technique. Its function is specific, making correct instrument
selection important when preparing a channel for fixation hardware.

The 11-1349-00 complements drills, drivers, guides, and other bone surgery instruments used throughout the fixation workflow.

Add this bone tap to your orthopedic fixation set.
