DETAILS AND CARE
A distal end cutter with a mini cutting head and a long handle. The smaller head reaches distal to the molar tube in tight or posterior cases, while the longer handle keeps your hand clear of the cheek and improves leverage, cutting with less force.
- Mini head reaches tight distal areas behind the molar tube
- Long handle for better leverage and cheek clearance, with less force needed to cut
- Handles rectangular wire up to .022" x .028" (0.55mm x 0.71mm), round wire up to .020" (0.50mm), and braided wire up to .016" (0.40mm)
- Hardened cutting edges for repeated use on orthodontic wire
- Hardened Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel, fully autoclavable
FAQs
When is the mini head worth having?
In tight posterior access, or where the cheek limits how far a standard head can be introduced. The smaller profile gets to the wire end that a full-size cutter cannot reach comfortably.
What wire sizes does it cut?
Rectangular wire up to .022" x .028" (0.55mm x 0.71mm), round wire up to .020" (0.50mm), and braided wire up to .016" (0.40mm). Using it beyond these sizes is what rolls a cutting edge.
How do I get the longest life from a cutter?
Use it only on the wire type and gauge it is intended for. Cutting hardened or oversized wire is what rolls a cutting edge, and a rolled edge cannot be restored.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is made from hardened Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
