The 7 Wire Passer 45mm dia Cannulated is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled passage, positioning, and manipulation of compatible surgical wire. Its cannulated design provides a defined pathway for wire handling, helping the surgeon guide wire through an appropriate operative route during procedures where controlled wire placement is required.
With an overall length of 7 inches, this wire passer provides a practical balance between working access and instrument control. The 45mm diameter configuration creates a relatively broad working profile, which may be useful when passing wire around larger anatomical structures or through compatible surgical approaches. Exact clinical application and wire compatibility should always be confirmed against the applicable surgical technique and instrument system.
Wire passers are commonly used in orthopedic and trauma procedures involving cerclage, fixation, reconstruction, or temporary stabilization where surgical wire must be guided accurately. The cannulated configuration can help maintain the wire within the instrument’s intended passageway while the surgeon advances, positions, or retrieves the wire. This can be particularly useful when controlled wire manipulation is required in areas where direct access is limited.
The instrument’s 7-inch length allows the working end to reach operative areas while maintaining a manageable hand position. Proper instrument control is important when passing wire near bone, soft tissue, or other anatomical structures. The 45mm diameter should be selected according to the anatomy, surgical approach, and specific wire-passing requirements rather than used as a universal indication.
The 7″ Cannulated Wire Passer is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals familiar with orthopedic surgical instrumentation. Compatibility with specific cerclage wire, fixation systems, or other orthopedic accessories should be verified before use. The title specifies a 45mm diameter, but does not establish a particular wire diameter or manufacturer-specific system compatibility.
As with reusable surgical instruments, the wire passer should be inspected before and after use for surface damage, deformation, obstruction, or other signs that could affect performance. The cannulated passage should be checked carefully to ensure it remains clear and functional. Cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, and maintenance should be performed according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s instrument-reprocessing protocols.
The 7″ Cannulated Wire Passer 45mm Diameter is a useful addition to orthopedic and trauma instrument sets where controlled wire passage and manipulation are required. Its defined length, cannulated working configuration, and 45mm diameter provide surgeons with a specialized tool for compatible wire-handling applications.

FAQs
What is a cannulated wire passer used for?
A cannulated wire passer is used to help guide, pass, position, or manipulate compatible surgical wire during orthopedic and trauma procedures.
What does 45mm diameter mean?
The 45mm specification identifies the diameter of the instrument’s specified working configuration. It should be selected according to the surgical application and anatomical requirements.
What is the advantage of a cannulated design?
A cannulated design provides an internal passageway that helps guide compatible wire through the instrument during controlled wire-placement procedures.
Is this wire passer suitable for cerclage procedures?
It may be used for compatible cerclage and orthopedic wire-handling applications, provided its dimensions and configuration are appropriate for the specific surgical technique.
Does the 7-inch length include the working end?
The stated 7-inch dimension refers to the overall instrument length as specified in the product title. Exact dimensional conventions should be confirmed with the manufacturer.
Can it be used with any surgical wire?
No. Wire compatibility should not be assumed. The appropriate wire size, construction, and fixation system should be verified before use.
How should the wire passer be sterilized?
Cleaning and sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s approved surgical-instrument reprocessing protocol.
