These straight Howe pliers are a staple utility instrument for orthodontic work. The fine, rounded tips are designed to securely grip arch wires without causing damage, facilitating placement, adjustment, and removal.

Manufactured from clinical-grade stainless steel, they offer excellent resistance to corrosion. The instrument is fully autoclavable, ensuring it meets the sterilisation requirements of a professional dental or laboratory environment. Conforms to both ISO and CE standards.

Primarily used for placing and removing arch wires, and for seating individual anterior bands in orthodontic procedures. Also suitable for fine wire manipulation in model making and electronics repair.
