Flush Cut with Hold Plier (TC) .016" x .021"
The Flush Cut with Hold Plier is a tungsten carbide orthodontic cutter engineered for clean, flush trimming of round wires from 0.30 mm and rectangular wires up to 0.41 x 0.55 mm (.016" x .021"). The angled cutting head approaches the wire at a shallow angle, producing a flush cut without leaving a protruding stub, while the integrated hold recess grips the cut segment so it can be withdrawn safely from the patient's mouth. Hardened tungsten carbide inserts hold their edge through repeated cuts, and the curved ergonomic handles provide balanced control during fine work. The stainless steel body is fully autoclavable, and the instrument is supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Wire Cutter - Max 0.6 mm, 12 cm
This 12 cm light wire cutter is engineered for chairside trimming of orthodontic wires up to 0.6 mm (.023 in) in diameter. The angled cutting head closes cleanly against a tungsten-carbide insert, producing a flush edge that will not fray the wire or mar adjacent brackets. The slim teardrop handles keep the overall weight low and offer a secure thumb-and-finger grip during repeated cuts. The body is forged in stainless steel and the tungsten-carbide cutting insert preserves its edge over many more cycles than plain steel jaws, which extends useful life in high-volume orthodontic practices. Equate Instruments supplies the cutter non-sterile for processing through the clinic's standard autoclave workflow.
