Surgical Steel Plaster Shears for Dental Labs, 165 mm (6.5")
These heavy-duty plaster shears are engineered for trimming and shaping dental models with precision. The robust blades cut cleanly through plaster and stone without flexing, allowing for accurate adjustments to casts and impressions.
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, the shears are highly resistant to corrosion and can be repeatedly sterilised by autoclave. The polished finish aids cleaning and maintains a professional appearance in the lab environment.
Ideal for dental technicians shaping models, orthodontists adjusting appliances, or even model engineers working with casting materials.
