It is used to guide ligature wire and seat elastic ties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe single-end design gives a light, balanced feel in the hand, which helps you guide a wire with small, controlled movements. The 0.18 inch size suits work on small areas where a thicker tip would be clumsy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause there is only one working end, the handle is simple to hold and the tip is easy to keep clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWorking With Ligatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eLigature wires and elastic ties are finished by making sure nothing sharp is left in the mouth. Tuck wire tails under the arch, away from the cheeks and lips, and run the tip along the bracket to check that elastic ties are fully seated under the wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClean the working tip after every patient. Dried elastomeric debris or cement on the tip makes it harder to feel the wire and bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ligature director is a small instrument, but it is used at nearly every adjustment visit. Keeping a few on the tray means one is always clean and ready while the others are being reprocessed, so chair time is not lost waiting for an instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from medical grade stainless steel. Autoclavable for repeated sterilization cycles. Clean and dry the instrument after each use, and check the working ends for wear or damage before it goes into the pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.18 inch tip size for fine wire control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end design, balanced and lightweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor guiding ligature wires and tucking tails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlled movements in small areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to hold and clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical grade stainless steel, autoclavable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SurgiWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67751017152826,"sku":"RT813","price":49.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/Ligature-Director-0.18_-Single-End.webp?v=1792584696","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-ligature-director-0-18-single-end-rt813","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
