Flat Nose Pliers – Surgical Tendon Stripper – 11-1155-13

11-1155-13 | Flat Nose Pliers

The 11-1155-13 Flat Nose Pliers provide a broad jaw profile for gripping and manipulating flat
surfaces during orthopedic procedures. Within the Next Edge Surgical tendon stripper and
orthopedic instrument range, flat nose pliers serve a different function from tapered needle nose
designs. Their wider working surfaces can provide a more stable contact area when the
component being handled has a flat profile. This makes them a useful addition to selected bone surgery instruments sets.

The flat nose pattern is particularly useful when the surgeon needs controlled contact across a
broader surface instead of a concentrated point. Such a configuration can be relevant when
manipulating plates, flat implant components, or other suitable surgical materials.

Consider the following characteristics:

●​ Flat jaw profile: Provides a broader contact surface for handling appropriately shaped
components.
●​ Direct gripping action: Allows the operator to position the jaws against the intended
surface before applying controlled pressure.
●​ Orthopedic application: Useful for selected hardware manipulation and related surgical
tasks.
●​ Different from needle nose pliers: The broader jaws offer another handling option
when tapered tips are not appropriate.
●​ Specialized tray role: Can complement bone-holding, wire-handling, and
implant-manipulation instruments.

Selecting pliers according to jaw shape is important because the working surface determines
how the instrument contacts the object being manipulated. A flat nose design is therefore not
simply a longer or shorter alternative to a needle nose pattern. It serves a different handling
purpose.

For orthopedic teams building procedure-specific instrument trays, the 11-1155-13 offers a
useful flat-jaw configuration for appropriate applications. Add this specialized plier to your
surgical inventory.
