A slim profile gives easy access in crowded arches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a wire ligature is twisted, a pigtail remains. The tucker end pushes it under the arch, away from the cheeks and lips, and the director end guides the wire under the tie wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe slim profile reaches between the teeth where wider tools do not fit.\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\u003eLigature tucker end for pigtails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLigature director end for guiding wires under tie wings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlim profile for crowded arches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo functions in one instrument\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves wire ends tucked and comfortable for the patient\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":67751017087290,"sku":"RT811","price":59.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/Ligature-Director-Ligature-Tucker.webp?v=1792584693","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-ligature-director-ligature-tucker-rt811","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
