Hard Wire Cutter Pliers 15 Degree Angled 12 cm (Hu Friedy Type)
$45.00
The 15-Degree Angled Hard Wire Cutter 12 cm (Hu-Friedy Type) is a premium orthodontic cutting plier engineered for precise, high-torque trimming of rigid, high-tensile orthodontic wires. Featuring a 15-degree offset head combined with a compact 12 cm handle, this instrument significantly improves visibility and maneuverability when working in crowded posterior intraoral spaces.
Manufactured from surgical-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it is fitted with ultra-hard Tungsten Carbide (TC) tip inserts and diamond-honed cutting edges to deliver clean, distortion-free cuts on hardened wires up to .028″ (.71 mm). Its compact 8 mm beak profile allows detailed cutting control, while the durable rivet joint construction maintains precise jaw alignment and smooth mechanical action across repeated autoclave cycles.
