Posterior Band & Bracket Removing Pliers, 13 cm, with Gold-Plated Handles
Designed for the controlled removal of orthodontic posterior bands and brackets. The pliers feature a precisely curved blade that slides gently under the band's edge, allowing for effective leverage against the tooth surface to break the adhesive bond with minimal discomfort.
Manufactured from hardened stainless steel, these pliers offer excellent corrosion resistance and can be fully sterilised via autoclave. The ergonomic, half gold-plated handles ensure a comfortable and secure grip for both left and right-handed users, providing the necessary control for delicate procedures.
Primary applications:
• Removing posterior orthodontic bands and brackets.
• Separating small, bonded components in model engineering.
• Prying delicate parts in electronics or jewellery repair.
