Orthodontic Ligature Steps Forming Pliers
The Orthodontic Ligature Steps Forming Pliers by GIGI Tools are specialized wire-bending instruments engineered for placing precise step-bends and activation loops in soft ligature wires. Featuring a unique stepped inner jaw paired with a flat opposing blade, these pliers create uniform, calibrated steps without pinching or damaging thin wires.
Designed specifically to bend soft ligature wires up to 0.012 inches (0.30 mm) in diameter, these pliers ensure consistent, repeatable geometry for various intraoral ligating applications. The ergonomic handle design offers balanced hand leverage and tactile sensitivity, while the high-grade surgical stainless steel construction resists structural flex, corrosion, and wear during routine autoclave sterilization cycles.
