21.5cm 8 1/4″
to bend straight and angled plates
Article 11-1732-21 Bending Device is intended for shaping both straight and angled plates, with a listed length of 21.5 cm, or approximately 8 1/4 inches. Plate contouring is an important part of fixation preparation because a plate may need to follow the intended anatomical contour rather than remain in its original manufactured profile. This instrument therefore fits naturally among bone surgery instruments used during fracture fixation and reconstruction.
The product’s stated function is straightforward: bending straight and angled plates. Its working length provides a useful hand-held format for controlled manipulation during plate preparation.
A few confirmed details:
Instrument type: Bending Device
Length: 21.5 cm
Equivalent length: approximately 8 1/4 inches
Intended for straight and angled plates
Plate bending is best performed with an instrument that gives the surgeon controlled leverage over the implant rather than relying on improvised methods. Properly matching the bending device to the plate system helps reduce unnecessary manipulation and keeps the contouring process organized.
This device can be valuable in orthopedic trauma and reconstructive environments where plates must be adapted before fixation. It can also support instrument trays that include plate holders, cutters, screwdrivers, and other fixation accessories.
The manufacturer page does not specify material, finish, or sterilization details, so those should be verified with the supplier before purchase.
Add this plate bending device to your fixation instrumentation.
