Teleflex Medical OEM (Kenosha, WI)
has launched a high-performance rod
cutter specifically designed to handle
extremely strong cobalt chromium
(CoCr) and titanium rods. Performance
tests indicate the durable rod cutter can
cut cobalt chromium rods more than 500
times with minimal raised burrs or edges. The cutter features a guide
for easy insertion and proper positioning of a rod in the cutting hole,
and extendable arms that lock in place for increased leverage and
reduced operation efforts. The rod cutter can be custom configured
with up to four different holes on the cutting head: 3.0 mm to 6.0 mm
(in ½ mm increments) plus 6.35 mm. A sturdy base is available for
tabletop use.
