Heavy Duty Wire Cutter - Multi-Action, Stainless Steel
The Heavy Duty Wire Cutter is a multi-action orthodontic plier engineered for cutting the heaviest archwires, arch bars, Kirschner wires, and retention wires without excess hand force. A compound double-joint mechanism multiplies handle travel into cutting force at the beak, and a spring return opens the jaws automatically between cuts so the operator can work a batch of wires quickly. Diagonal beaks from Equate Instruments shear hard stainless wires up to 0.035 inch with a clean, square cut face. The passivated stainless-steel body is finished with diamond-patterned anti-slip handles for secure control even with wet gloves, is fully autoclavable and ships non-sterile for standard in-office sterilisation.

Hard Wire Cutter 15 cm with Compound Pivot
The Hard Wire Cutter 15 cm is a heavy-duty orthodontic plier built for sectioning stainless-steel archwires and laboratory wires that a standard light-wire cutter cannot handle.

Both jaws are ground from surgical stainless steel for a flush cutting face that meets squarely under load, and an internal leaf spring returns the handles to the open position between cuts. Ribbed finger shanks keep the hand from slipping during heavy work. Supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments and fully autoclavable for routine orthodontic and laboratory trays.
