Jarabak Pliers with T/C Cutters
The Jarabak Pliers with T/C Cutters upgrades the classic three-groove Jarabak plier with tungsten-carbide cutter inserts for extended edge life on hard orthodontic wires. The three-groove beak grips the wire at three points of contact for slip-free bending, and the T/C cutter trims rectangular wires up to .022" x .025" (0.56 x 0.64 mm) and round wires from .012" to .016" (0.31-0.41 mm). A box-joint head delivers rigid beak alignment through forming and cutting cycles, the hardened tips resist wear, and contoured stainless-steel handles provide a precise pinch grip. Passivated and fully autoclavable, this Equate Instruments plier is built for clinicians who demand long-service cutting edges on hard wires.

Long Beak Light Wire Plier - 0.51 mm / .020 in Wire
The Long Beak Light Wire Plier is an orthodontic wire-forming plier with tapered needle-nose beaks for precise bends on round archwires and accessory wires up to 0.51 mm (0.020 in). One beak is conical and the opposing beak is flat-tipped, allowing stepped bends, loops, and first-order wire adjustments in finishing and detailing work. The plier is machined from stainless steel and features a satin finish for low glare at the chair. Equate Instruments supplies the plier non-sterile and fully autoclavable for reuse across orthodontic adjustment and finishing appointments.

Jarabak Plier .020"
The Jarabak Plier is a delicate wire-bending orthodontic instrument with slim, pointed tips for forming fine bends and small loops in light archwires up to 0.50 mm (.020"). The narrow jaw profile allows the operator to reach in close to existing bends without deforming adjacent features, making it a go-to tool for intricate eyelet, helix, and closing-loop fabrication. The balanced ergonomic handles transmit tactile feedback from the wire to the operator's fingers, supporting precise control at the tip. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel by Equate Instruments, this Jarabak plier is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for routine in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Jarabak Pliers - Box Joint, Slim 14 cm
The Jarabak Pliers in a slim box-joint pattern are a 14 cm orthodontic wire-forming instrument for precise bending of light archwires and loops. The long, finely tapered beaks hold round wires up to 0.025 inch with a set of three retention grooves that prevent the wire from slipping as it is bent, making them ideal for closing loops, T-loops, and fine vertical bends. The precision box joint keeps the beaks in rigid alignment under forming force, so the wire contacts the same point on each tip with every bend. Equate Instruments builds the plier in passivated stainless steel, and the full 14 cm length gives the operator extended fulcrum control over precise wire contours. The instrument is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile.

Jarabak Pliers
The Jarabak Pliers is a classic orthodontic wire-forming plier used to bend and form loops in light archwires during appliance fabrication and chairside detailing. The distinctive three-groove beak holds the wire firmly at three points of contact, so the operator can bend, kink, or helix without slippage even on smooth round wires. The tapered tips reach tight interproximal and lingual spaces, the rivet joint delivers a smooth and controlled action, and the hardened tips handle repeat cycles on wires up to .020" (0.51 mm). Passivated stainless-steel build with contoured handles makes this Equate Instruments plier a daily driver for delicate wirework.

Jarabak Pliers with Cutters
The Jarabak Pliers with Cutters combines the classic three-groove Jarabak beak with an integrated side cutter, so the operator can bend and trim light orthodontic wires without swapping instruments. The three grooves grip the wire at three points of contact for slip-free forming, and the built-in cutter handles wires from .012" to .016" (0.31-0.41 mm) at the buccal tube or during retainer wire trimming. A box-joint head maintains rigid beak alignment under bending load, hardened tips resist wear, and the contoured stainless-steel handles give precise pinch control. Passivated and fully autoclavable, this Equate Instruments plier is a versatile chairside and lab option for light wirework.

Loop Forming Pliers, Small Beak
The Loop Forming Pliers with Small Beak are an orthodontic wire-bending instrument designed to shape small springs and loops in light archwires. The short tapered beaks step down in diameter, letting the clinician form multiple loop sizes by varying the contact position along the working end. A rivet joint keeps the jaws aligned under bending pressure for repeatable loop diameters. Built from passivated stainless steel, this Equate Instruments plier supports hard wires up to .028 inch (0.70 mm) and is suitable for left- or right-handed use. Supplied non-sterile, latex-free, and fully autoclavable for standard in-clinic sterilisation.

Loop Forming Pliers, Long Beak
The Loop Forming Pliers with Long Beak are an orthodontic wire-bending instrument designed to shape springs and loops in archwires where extended reach is needed. The elongated tapered beaks allow the clinician to access the wire deeper into a working model or working cassette, and the stepped diameter produces a range of loop sizes from one instrument. A rivet joint holds the jaws aligned through repeated bending cycles. Constructed from passivated stainless steel, this Equate Instruments plier supports hard wires up to .028 inch (0.70 mm) and can be used by either hand. Supplied non-sterile, latex-free, and fully autoclavable for routine steam sterilisation.

Ruhland Loop Forming Pliers
The Ruhland Loop Forming Pliers are a heavy-duty orthodontic wire-bending instrument designed for coffin springs, labial arches, and large auxiliary loops. The stepped conical beaks produce a wide range of loop diameters from a single tool, and the robust body accepts hard wires up to .043 inch (1.10 mm), well beyond the capacity of standard light-wire loop formers. A rivet joint maintains jaw alignment through the higher forces required for heavy-gauge wire bending. Built from passivated stainless steel, this Equate Instruments plier is fully autoclavable, latex-free, and usable by either hand. Supplied non-sterile for routine in-clinic sterilisation.

Three-Prong Wire Bending Pliers
Three-Prong Wire Bending Pliers are a general-purpose orthodontic tool for bending round wires, adjusting clasps on removable appliances, and forming stops and U-bends. The working head carries two prongs on one jaw and a single prong on the opposing jaw that nests between them, so the wire is gripped on three sides and can be bent precisely without twisting out of the plane of the plier. Equate Instruments forges the body in stainless steel with tapered arms and a smooth box-joint pivot. The tool is corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile for standard in-clinic sterilisation. Equally suitable for chairside adjustments and bench work in the orthodontic laboratory.
