Crimpable Plier

• Use: A specialized orthodontic tool designed for crimping small components such as stainless steel crimpable attachments onto orthodontic wires. The straight design provides ease of access and precise control, allowing for secure attachment placement during orthodontic treatments.

Features

1. Size:
   • Length: Typically 14–16 cm, providing good leverage and control for crimping tasks.
   • Jaws:
     • Straight jaws with an angled tip, designed specifically for crimping.
     • The jaws feature fine, rounded serrations to securely grip and compress the crimpable attachment.
     • The straight design allows for easy alignment and precision during crimping.
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:
   • Straight Jaws with an Angled Tip: Provide direct access to crimpable components for accurate crimping.
   • Smooth, Rounded Edges: Ensure safety by preventing damage to the crimpable components and surrounding tissues.
   • Ergonomic Handles: Designed for a comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during the crimping process.

Applications
