Distal End Cutter Universal Cut 12cm
This universal-cut distal end cutter is an orthodontic wire cutter fitted with hardened steel tip inserts for clean flush cuts at the buccal tube, and a safety-hold feature that retains the cut-off archwire segment in the jaws to prevent aspiration or loss into the oral cavity. A rivet joint gives the cutter a consistent, well-indexed pivot for repeatable cuts through light and heavy archwire. The compact 12 cm handles balance comfortably in a pencil grip for chairside work, and the tips cut rectangular archwire up to 0.021 x 0.025 inch (0.54 x 0.64 mm). Equate Instruments supplies the cutter forged in passivated stainless steel, fully autoclavable, delivered non-sterile and individually packed.

Distal End Cutter with Safety Hold - Side Screw, Tungsten Carbide
This distal end cutter with safety hold is an orthodontic cutting plier designed to trim archwire tails flush to the distal tube while retaining the cut-off segment inside the beaks. The tungsten-carbide cutting edges sever stainless-steel, NiTi and rectangular archwires up to 0.56 x 0.71 mm (0.022 x 0.028 inch) cleanly, while an internal hold spring prevents the cut fragment from springing loose into the patient's airway. A side adjustment screw maintains precise jaw alignment across the life of the plier. Long curved stainless-steel handles keep the hand position relaxed, and the plier is autoclavable and supplied non-sterile. From Equate Instruments, it suits clinicians finishing archwires chairside during tie-ins and adjustments.

Distal End Cutter Long Handle (TC) .022" x .028"
The Distal End Cutter with Hold features tungsten carbide cutting inserts for cleanly trimming the distal extensions of stainless steel archwires up to 0.56 x 0.71 mm (.022" x .028"). The hold mechanism captures the cut wire segment between the jaws, preventing it from dropping into the patient's mouth and allowing safe, controlled removal from the oral cavity. The long-handle design gives the operator extended reach into the posterior region, particularly helpful when trimming wires distal to the second molar tubes. Hardened tungsten carbide cutting edges preserve their sharpness over many cycles, while the stainless steel body is fully autoclavable for routine chairside sterilisation. Supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments for in-clinic steam cycles.

Distal End Cutter Long Handle Curved (TC) .022" x .028"
The Curved Distal End Cutter with Hold is a long-handle orthodontic plier with an angled cutting head shaped for improved access behind the terminal molar tubes. Hardened tungsten carbide cutting inserts trim stainless steel archwires cleanly at sizes up to 0.56 x 0.71 mm (.022" x .028"), while the integrated safety hold mechanism captures the cut segment between the jaws to prevent it dropping into the patient's mouth. The curved tip allows the operator to rotate the working end into anatomically awkward positions where a straight head would bind on the cheek or tongue. The long handle gives leverage and reach for posterior archwire finishing. Manufactured by Equate Instruments from stainless steel with tungsten carbide inserts, the cutter is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation.
