A loop-forming plier shaped for the omega loop, the small horseshoe bend placed in an archwire to give controlled adjustment and act as a stop against the molar tube. The stepped beaks form the shape consistently, so the loop is repeatable from patient to patient.
- Forms omega loops to a consistent shape
- Stepped beaks make the bend repeatable
- Box joint and hardened beaks for a consistent, play-free action
- Hardened Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel, fully autoclavable
FAQs
What is an omega loop for?
It is a horseshoe-shaped bend placed in the archwire, used as an adjustment point and as a stop against the molar tube to control wire position.
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.
