Ligature Tying Pliers 17 cm
The 17 cm Ligature Tying Pliers are a long, slim orthodontic plier for twisting and tying stainless-steel ligature wires around bracket wings during archwire placement. The paired curved beaks come together at a low angle so the clinician can pick up a fine ligature leg, twist it into a tight pigtail, and release it against the bracket without fumbling for a second instrument. At Equate Instruments the plier is forged passivated stainless steel with a central screw-pivot for smooth rotation and a long leverage shank that reduces hand force during multi-bracket tie-ins. The instrument is ultrasonically cleaned, shape- and performance-tested, latex-free, ambidextrous, and fully autoclavable.

Elastic Separating and Elastomer Placing Pliers 15.5 cm
These Elastic Separating and Elastomer Placing Pliers are a spring-loaded instrument with fine angled tips for stretching elastic separators between teeth and seating elastomeric modules onto brackets. The curved handles and coiled spring keep the plier biased open between uses so the clinician can pick up one module at a time, place it, and release the plier cleanly. Pointed tips let each elastomer be slid directly over the bracket wings without slipping off. Equate Instruments finishes the instrument in stainless steel with a balanced 15.5 cm shank. The body is corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile for processing in the clinic's usual sterilisation workflow.

Orthodontic Separating Plier for Elastic Separators - 15 cm
This Orthodontic Separating Plier is designed for the stretch-and-place technique used with elastic separators during fixed-appliance preparation. The fine curved tips engage the elastic ring on two sides, while squeezing the handles opens the tips and stretches the ring so it can be slipped into the interproximal contact between adjacent teeth. A gentle coil spring returns the jaws to the rest position between placements for an efficient, repeatable workflow. Equate Instruments finishes this plier at approximately 15 cm overall in surgical-grade stainless steel, so the instrument is light, corrosion-resistant, and fully autoclavable for reuse across multiple patients in the orthodontic operatory.

Elastomeric Ligature Placing Forceps with Groove, 14 cm
The Elastomeric Ligature Placing Forceps with Groove is a Mathieu-style orthodontic instrument for placing elastomeric o-rings onto bracket wings. The beaks carry a fine pick-up groove that holds the elastomeric module securely, while a ratcheted spring-locked handle stabilises tension so the clinician can stretch the o-ring over the bracket wings without pre-mature release. It measures approximately 14 cm in length and is manufactured from stainless steel for long service life and autoclavable reprocessing. It is a daily-driver for orthodontists and orthodontic assistants placing elastic ligatures during routine archwire appointments, and it can also be used to seat colour chains along the arch.

Elastic Separating Pliers 15.5 cm
The 15.5 cm Elastic Separating Pliers are a spring-loaded orthodontic plier for stretching elastic separators and placing them between tight contacts ahead of banding appointments. The angulated beaks bring the tip over the contact for easy intraoral access, and the grooved jaws hold the elastic securely as it is stretched, reducing slip and the need to re-grip mid-placement. At Equate Instruments the plier is forged passivated stainless steel with an internal coil spring that returns the beaks after each placement. Large loop finger rests distribute force evenly across the hand during multi-site separator appointments. The instrument is ultrasonically cleaned, shape- and performance-tested, latex-free, ambidextrous, and fully autoclavable.

Elastic Separating Pliers Slim Long 17.5 cm
The Slim Long Elastic Separating Pliers are a 17.5 cm extended-reach spring-loaded plier for placing elastic separators in the posterior segments where standard pliers crowd against the cheek. The slim shank keeps the intraoral profile low while the angulated grooved beaks grip the elastic body without slipping, letting the clinician stretch and seat separators cleanly in molar contacts. At Equate Instruments the plier is forged passivated stainless steel with an internal coil spring for beak return and large loop finger rests for comfortable leverage. The instrument is ultrasonically cleaned, shape- and performance-tested, latex-free, ambidextrous, and fully autoclavable for daily orthodontic use.

Elastic Separating Pliers without Stop 15 cm
Elastic Separating Pliers are spring-loaded orthodontic pliers designed to stretch and place elastomeric separator rings between posterior teeth before band cementation. The angulated, grooved beaks grip the separator securely so it can be expanded and guided interproximally without slipping out of the jaws, while the internal return spring keeps the beaks open between placements for a rapid chair-side rhythm. Equate Instruments manufactures the 15 cm plier from passivated stainless steel. It is reusable, latex-free, and supplied non-sterile for routine in-office steam sterilisation in pouches or cassettes. The ambidextrous design suits left- or right-handed clinicians during orthodontic band-seating appointments.

Dental Measuring Ruler 10 cm
The Dental Measuring Ruler 10 cm is a slim stainless-steel scale used chairside to measure paper points, gutta-percha cones, K-files and orthodontic wire with single-hand control. Millimetre and half-millimetre graduations are etched into the surface, giving a reliable reference for working-length measurement and malocclusion assessment. The rigid stainless-steel body resists bending under normal use and remains accurate over many autoclave cycles. The small top hole allows the ruler to hang from a tray hook or lanyard when not in use. Supplied non-sterile, it is a practical chairside measuring tool in the Equate Instruments range.

Dental Measuring Ruler 15 cm
The Dental Measuring Ruler 15 cm is a slim stainless-steel scale used chairside to measure paper points, gutta-percha cones, K-files and orthodontic wire with single-hand control. The longer 15 cm length extends to the full span of a long-file working length or a facial-arch wire segment, while the etched millimetre and half-millimetre graduations remain legible after repeated autoclaving. The rigid stainless-steel body resists bending in routine use, and a hanging hole at the top lets the ruler sit on a tray hook between cases. Supplied non-sterile, it is the longer chairside companion to the 10 cm ruler in the Equate Instruments range.

Deluxe Boley Gauge
The Deluxe Boley Gauge is a precision stainless-steel dental caliper calibrated in millimetres for measuring tooth widths, crown heights, prosthetic teeth and orthodontic study models. The pointed sliding jaw reads against the main scale from 0 to 80 mm, while a vernier track on the auxiliary jaw adds fine tenth-millimetre resolution for close work. Fabricated from hardened stainless steel by Equate Instruments, the gauge holds its calibration through repeated autoclave cycles and routine chemical disinfection. The pointed tips reach into interproximal contacts and embrasures where standard rulers cannot.
