Angled Crimpable Plier

• Use: A specialized orthodontic tool used for crimping or compressing small components such as stainless steel crimpable attachments onto orthodontic wires. The angled design of the plier allows for improved access and precision during crimping procedures.

Features

1. Size:
   • Length: Typically 14–16 cm, providing good leverage and control for crimping tasks.
   • Jaws:
     • Curved jaws with an angled tip designed specifically for crimping attachments.
     • The angled design allows for better access to crimpable components, particularly in posterior regions of the mouth.
     • The jaws feature fine, rounded serrations to securely grip and compress the attachment without damage.
2. Material:
   • Made from stainless steel, ensuring durability, resistance to corrosion, and ease of sterilization.
   • Some models may include tungsten carbide inserts on the tips for increased strength and longevity.
3. Design:
   • Angled Jaws: Provide better access to crimpable components, making it easier to apply attachments precisely.
   • Smooth, Rounded Edges: Prevent damage to the crimpable components and surrounding tissues.
   • Ergonomic Handles: Designed for a comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during the crimping process.

Applications

• Crimping Attachments:
  • Specifically designed for compressing crimpable components onto orthodontic wires.
• Precision:
  • The angled jaws allow for controlled and accurate crimping, ensuring a secure attachment to the wire.
• Ease of Use:
  • The angled design provides better maneuverability, especially in posterior areas of the mouth, facilitating easier placement of attachments.

Benefits

• Efficiency: Streamlines the process of crimping attachments, reducing chair time for the patient.
• Precision: Ensures a secure, accurate crimp of the attachment, preventing loose or inadequate placements.
• Safety: Smooth surfaces and rounded edges prevent damage to the crimpable components and surrounding tissues.
• Durability: High-quality construction ensures long-lasting performance even with frequent use.
