$34.99
BusinessMed® Cut & Hold Distal End Cutter is an orthodontic distal end cutter, also called a safety hold distal end cutter, that trims the archwire end distal to the last molar buccal tube and holds the cut piece in its jaws, for wires up to .028 in.
- Standard-size head
- Hold feature on the jaw
- German stainless steel, satin finish
BusinessMed® Cut & Hold Distal End Cutter is the standard pattern of our distal end cutters. Its jaws close at a right angle to the handles, so they meet the wire from the front of the mouth and shear it next to the end of the molar tube; the hold feature clamps the severed segment at the same moment, and the short piece leaves the mouth on the instrument instead of falling loose.
What are orthodontic distal end cutters used for?
- Archwire placement: cutting off the excess wire that extends beyond the buccal tube on the last molar once a new archwire is tied in — the braces wire cutter step of every wire change.
- Labial and lingual appliances: trimming wire ends behind the last tooth on either side of the arch; distal end cutters are the wire cutters for braces that work inside the mouth, which is why the cut piece is held.
