Edge distal cutter is a specialized dental instrument designed to cut and safely hold the distal (rear) ends of orthodontic archwires after placement.
Key include:
• Precision Cutting: The cutter provides sharp, precise, cut to minimize discomfort and avoid irritating soft tissues. Clean cuts help maintain the integrity of the wire and reduce treatment complications.
• safety Hold Mechanism: Our Safety hold feature is essential, as it secures the cut wire fragment, preventing it from falling into the patient’s mouth or becoming a projectile, thereby improving safety.
• Long or Ergonomic Handle: Long handles or an ergonomic grip reduce hand fatigue, especially during lengthy procedures, and improve maneuverability and force application, particularly in the posterior areas of the mouth.
• Mini or Slim Head Design: A mini or slim profile enables access to tight spaces, allowing clinicians to cut wires in hard-to-reach areas with minimal patient discomfort.
• Durable, High-Quality Materials: Made from surgical or medical-grade stainless steel, often with tungsten carbide inserts on the blades for superior hardness, edge retention, and resistance to corrosion and frequent sterilization.
• Versatility in Wire Cutting: The instrument should handle various orthodontic wire diameters and types, including stainless steel, nickel-titanium, and beta-titanium wires.
• Safety and Patient Comfort: Features such as smooth, tapered, or angulated tips enhance patient safety and comfort and prevent accidental crimping or damage to nearby orthodontic attachments or tissues.
• Compliance with Sterilization: our cutter is fully autoclavable to meet infection control standards.
• Rust and Corrosion Resistance: High-grade finish and resistance to rust prolong the instrument’s lifespan even after repeated sterilization cycles
