Ligature and Pin Cutter, 15 Degree Angled TC / Hu-Friedy Style

The 15-Degree Angled Ligature & Pin Cutter (Hu-Friedy Style TC) is a high-precision orthodontic instrument engineered for superior intraoral visibility and effortless cutting of soft ligature wires and pins. Designed with a 15-degree offset head and a 12 mm beak length, this cutter provides optimal ergonomics and extended reach into posterior and hard-to-access intraoral regions.

Fitted with wear-resistant Immunity-HS steel tip inserts (TC reinforced) and diamond-honed cutting edges, this instrument produces clean, distortion-free cuts on soft wires up to .012″ (0.31 mm) without wire slippage. Its smooth rivet joint construction delivers reliable mechanical action and long-term jaw stability, while the surgical-grade stainless steel body guarantees maximum resistance to corrosion across daily autoclave cycles.

Key Features:

• 15-Degree Angled Beak: Improves line-of-sight and posterior intraoral access while reducing operator wrist strain.

• Immunity-HS Steel (TC) Tips: Reinforced tungsten carbide cutting edges deliver extended sharpness and superior wear resistance.

• 12 mm Diamond-Honed Edges: Precision-sharpened blades ensure clean, flush cuts without pinching or bending wire ends.

• Precision Rivet Joint: Provides smooth, consistent cutting action and stable jaw alignment over repeated clinical use.

• Surgical Stainless Steel Body: Corrosion-resistant and fully autoclavable for high-volume orthodontic workflows.

Cutting Capacity:

• Maximum Capacity: .012″ (0.31 mm) Soft Wires & Pins

Ideal Applications: Trimming soft stainless steel ligature wires, cutting orthodontic pins, removing elastic ties, and performing routine chairside adjustments in professional orthodontic practices.
