Primary Purpose: These pliers are used to cut thick stainless steel and Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) archwires. Unlike distal end cutters, these are generally used for cutting wires outside of the mouth or in areas where a safety-hold is not required.
-
Tungsten Carbide (TC) Inserts: The gold finish on the handles is a standard industry indicator that the cutting edges are reinforced with Tungsten Carbide. This is a superior, ultra-hard material that allows the blades to remain sharp and effective even after repeatedly cutting hard metal wires.
-
Side-Cutting Design: The beaks are designed as a "side cutter," providing a clean, flush cut. The robust hinge allows the orthodontist to apply significant leverage to snip through heavy-gauge wires with ease.
