Flush Cut and Hold Distal End Cutter (Small Handle)

Orthopli's small handle End Cutter is for those doctors and staff that prefer the feel and comfort of a smaller size plier forging. Due to its size, it is only recommended to cut round, rectangular, twisted and braided wire up to .020" dia. round and .016" x .022" rectangular. It permits the operator to cut and hold an arch wire flush to the buccal tube leaving no protrusions which will irritate the patient. At the same time the built in holding spring will hold the cut piece of wire preventing the wire from flying into tissue.
