Pin and Ligature Cutter – Orthodontic Ligature Cutter, Standard Body
$29.99
BusinessMed® Pin and Ligature Cutter is an orthodontic ligature cutter with fine, pointed cutting tips, used to cut ligature wire ties, elastic ligatures, pins and soft wires up to .016 in at the bracket.
- Compact cutting head
- Standard body size
- German stainless steel, satin finish
BusinessMed® Pin and Ligature Cutter has short, fine tips that close at the very end of the beaks, so the twisted end of a ligature can be snipped right at the bracket wing; it is a soft-wire instrument, which is why its capacity is far below that of archwire cutters.
What is a ligature cutter used for?
- Ligature ties: cutting the twisted pigtail of a steel ligature wire tie after it is tightened, and cutting ties to free the archwire at an adjustment — the core use of the ligature cutter. Orthodontics practices keep several ligature cutters for this, by head size and angle.
- Elastic ligatures and pins: snipping elastic modules, lock pins and other soft wire; a ligature wire cutter is not used on archwires, which need heavier dental wire cutters.
