Mini Pin and Ligature Cutter - Tungsten Carbide, 0.30 mm / .012 in Wire
The Mini Pin and Ligature Cutter is a compact orthodontic plier with tungsten-carbide cutting inserts rated for soft wires up to 0.30 mm (0.012 in) in diameter. The carbide edges deliver a smooth, flush cut on ligature wire, elastomeric chain, and lock pins, while the slim 15-degree head angles into the buccal corridor without disturbing adjacent brackets. The plier body is stainless steel, and the gold-coated handles mark it as a tungsten-carbide edition in a mixed orthodontic kit. Equate Instruments supplies the plier non-sterile and autoclavable, ready for reuse through full orthodontic treatment cycles.

Pin and Ligature Cutter TC - Max 0.4 mm
This Pin and Ligature Cutter is a precision chairside plier for trimming stainless steel ligatures and orthodontic pins up to 0.4 mm (.016 in) in diameter. The tungsten-carbide cutting insert gives a clean flush cut that removes wire ends without leaving sharp, tissue-irritating projections, which is especially important when cutting beside soft tissue or a freshly placed bracket. The stainless steel body is paired with a slim teardrop handle, and the tungsten-carbide insert retains its edge over many more cycles than plain steel jaws. Equate Instruments supplies the cutter non-sterile so it can be autoclaved through the clinic's standard sterilisation workflow before each use.

Pin & Ligature Cutter 15°, Tungsten Carbide Inserts - Wire up to 0.40 mm (.016")
The Pin and Ligature Cutter is a precision orthodontic plier engineered for clean sectioning of ligature wires and pin ends on fixed appliances. Tungsten carbide cutting inserts bonded to the stainless-steel jaws retain sharp edges through repeated cuts, while the offset head geometry lets the operator reach ligature stubs interproximally and along the distal end of arch wires without disturbing adjacent brackets. Long pliers-style handles deliver controlled mechanical advantage for precise, low-effort cuts, and the tapered working tips fit comfortably between brackets and oral tissues. Crafted from surgical stainless steel with tungsten carbide inserts and finished for full autoclave compatibility, the cutter is supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments for routine in-clinic reprocessing.

Pin and Ligature Cutter Fine Point with Spring, 15-degree Head - 0.30 mm (.012 in) Wire
This Pin and Ligature Cutter couples a fine-point tip, a 15-degree angled head, and an internal return spring for high-volume ligature trimming. The angled head clears posterior bracket slots more easily, tungsten carbide cutting edges flush-cut ligature wire and lock pins up to 0.30 mm (.012 in), and the return spring relaxes the jaws between cuts to reduce hand fatigue across long ligation appointments. Equate Instruments forges this cutter from hardened stainless steel with polished plain round handles. It is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Ligature and Pin Cutters - 15-Degree Regular Beak 12cm
The 15-Degree Ligature and Pin Cutters (12cm) deliver clean, flush cuts on soft ligature wire and thin bracket pins in the 0.012in to 0.016in range. The 15-degree head angulation aligns the cutting edges with the archwire plane so the clinician can reach interproximal ligatures and pin ends without torquing the handle. Fitted with heat-treated steel tip inserts and diamond-honed edges on a rivet joint, the cutters hold their edge across many ligation cycles. An 8mm beak length gives the reach needed around bracket wings, and the passivated stainless-steel body is latex-free, reusable, and fully autoclavable.

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.
