FAQs
Why preform ligatures?
Preformed ligatures of a set height speed up tying and give consistent results across a list, rather than shaping each one by hand at the chair.
What do the tungsten carbide tips add?
Tungsten carbide is much harder than stainless steel, so the gripping surfaces resist wear and keep their bite on hardened archwire far longer than plain steel tips.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is made from hardened Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel with tungsten carbide inserts in the working tips, and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
