A light-wire plier with fine tapered beaks for delicate bending in the early stages of treatment, when wires are thin and easily deformed. The slim tips give the control that a general utility plier is too coarse to provide.
- Fine tapered beaks for delicate light-wire work
- Suits the thin wires used in early alignment
- Box joint and hardened beaks for a consistent, play-free action
- Hardened Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel, fully autoclavable
FAQs
When would I use a light wire plier?
During early alignment, when archwires are fine and flexible. Heavier pliers can crease or over-bend wire at this stage.
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.
