Shear Distal End Cutter (Standard Handle)

Manufactured on Orthopli's most popular standard handle size. Shear Distal End Cutters allow the operator to cut the excess arch wire extending out of the molar buccal tube. Simultaneously, it will hold the cut piece of wire with its built in safety holding design, preventing the wire from flying into the tissue. Cutting is achieved by shearing the arch wire as the operator closes the instrument. Capable of cutting round and rectangular wire up to .025" diameter and .021" x .025". Both tips are manufactured with hardened inserted tips which provide strength and extend the sharpness of the cutting edge.

• The cutting occurs as two pieces of hardened steel cross over each other shearing and cutting off the excess arch wire.
• After cutting the arch wire the upper portion of the tip will hold the cut piece of wire.
• The lower beak is machined to its thinnest point allowing a close buccal tube cut.
• Recommended for braided wire, twist wire, round and rectangular wire up to .025" diameter or .021" x .025" rectangular.
• Manufactured on an all stainless steel box joint standard handle forging measuring approximately 5" in total length.
• Both beaks are manufactured with a hardened steel insert for ease during cutting and also extends the sharpness of the cutting edge.
