FAQs
Why does nicking the wire matter?
A nick is a stress point. Archwire under continuous load can fracture at a nick, so a crimping plier is finished specifically to grip without marking the surface.
How should the plier be cared for?
Clean and dry it fully before autoclaving, and keep the joint free of debris. Wire-bending pliers last longest when they are not used as cutters, which rounds the beaks and shortens their working life.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is made from hardened Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
