Cutting and forming device

A device for cutting a guide wire and a Kirschner wire and, at the same time, attaching a sleeve for protecting the end of the wire, said device comprising:

• an outer sleeve having a second longitudinal axis, a first front end, a first rear end, and a first borehole having an first borehole axis passing longitudinally through the outer sleeve;
• an inner sleeve capable of being rotated in the first borehole coaxially to the first axis of the first borehole having a second front end, a second rear end, and a second borehole having a second borehole axis passing through the inner sleeve longitudinally;
• and
• a housing with a central axis, a front end, a rear end, and a cavity which accommodates the outer sleeve and passes through the housing parallel to the central axis,
• wherein the second front end of the inner sleeve has a circular cutting edge which is concentric with the second borehole axis,
• wherein the first borehole at the first front end of the outer sleeve has a constriction whose third longitudinal axis is parallel to the first borehole axis and is at a distance a>0 from the from the first borehole axis, and
• wherein the second borehole axis of the second borehole extends parallel to the first borehole axis of the first borehole at a distance b>0 therefrom.
