Abstract

A cutting pliers for cutting implant plates features two handgrips (10) joined via a hand-grip pivot (11), which handgrips actuate by way of leverage pivots (14) a pliers holding jaw (15) and a pliers punching jaw (16). Formed on the pliers holding jaw (15) are holding pins (19, 20, 21) adapted for entering matching recesses of the implant plates being cut. A cutting device (18) is fashioned on the pliers punching jaw (16). Implant plates of different implant systems, with half-round, burrless cuts, can be cut with said cutting pliers.
