to bend straight and angled
Article 11-1733-00 Rod Bender is intended for bending straight and angled rods, giving surgical teams a dedicated hand instrument for controlled contour adjustment during fixation procedures. Rods used in orthopedic constructs often require shaping to match the intended anatomical or construct geometry, making controlled bending an important part of preparation. This instrument can therefore complement bone surgery instruments used for fixation and reconstructive work.
The product page identifies the instrument as a Rod Bender and states that it is used to bend straight and angled rods. No overall dimension is listed on the page.
Its main role can be understood through the relationship between the instrument and the rod:
Intended for straight rods
Suitable for angled rods
Dedicated hand tool for rod contouring
Listed under wire instruments
Using a dedicated bender allows the operator to make deliberate adjustments instead of applying uncontrolled force directly to the rod. That matters when the final contour needs to follow a planned construct or anatomical relationship.
The instrument can be incorporated into orthopedic fixation trays alongside compatible rod systems and other implant-handling tools. For hospitals and distributors, its straightforward identification also makes it easier to organize procurement around specific rod-contouring requirements.
Because the product page does not state the instrument’s material, surface finish, dimensions, or sterilization compatibility, those specifications should be confirmed before ordering.
Equip the appropriate fixation tray with this rod bender.
