It is useful for multi-tasking during routine brace adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne end directs ligature wires and tucks tails. The other end is a plugger, which can press a band into place or pack material where it is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving both tools on one handle reduces how often you reach for another instrument in the middle of an adjustment.\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 director end for wire placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlugger end for seating bands or packing material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo functions on one handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor routine brace adjustments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces instrument changes\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":67751017120058,"sku":"RT812","price":59.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/Straight-Ligature-Director-Plugger.webp?v=1792584695","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-ligature-director-plugger-rt812","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
