11-1740-00

The 11-1740-00 Plate Bender is a hand instrument used to contour fixation plates so they can better follow the intended bony anatomy before final fixation. In fracture and reconstructive surgery, accurate plate contouring matters because the implant must sit appropriately against the prepared bone without relying on excessive force during placement. The product page identifies this model as a Plate Bender under wire instruments.
A plate bender belongs with bone surgery instruments used during fixation procedures. Its purpose is not to cut bone, but to modify the shape of a compatible plate in a controlled manner before the implant is secured.
• The dedicated bending design gives the surgeon a direct way to adjust plate contour rather than relying on improvised methods.• Controlled manipulation can help match a fixation plate to the patient’s anatomical surface before screw placement.• It is relevant to fracture fixation and reconstructive work where implant contour needs to be adjusted during the procedure.• The hand-operated format keeps plate shaping within the surgical workflow and allows adjustments to be made as the operative anatomy is assessed.• The model can be incorporated into orthopedic and trauma instrument sets alongside fixation and plating tools.
The current product page does not provide material, dimensions, handle configuration, surface finish, or sterilization details. Those specifications should therefore be confirmed with NextEdge Surgical before purchase or inclusion in a validated instrument set.
For operating rooms that perform plate fixation, the 11-1740-00 provides a practical instrument for controlled plate contouring when anatomical fit needs adjustment.
