The need for twisting wires is an integral aspect of maxillofacial surgery. The act of using the commonly available wire twister exposes the operating surgeon as well as the patient to injury by the sharp edges of wire turning around. Pencil wire twister is advantageous in being safer for both the patient as well as the surgeon. In this paper, the authors discuss the feasibility of wider use of this immensely useful instrument.
