The wider serrated tip gives more contact area, which makes it easier to grip larger elastic ties and chains securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe locking handle holds the elastic between your fingers' squeezes, which gives stability and makes rubber band placement quick during routine check-ups. The sturdy 14cm body suits repeated daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClose the handle to lock onto the elastic, guide it over the bracket, then release. The serrated tips keep the elastic from sliding as you stretch it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eUse and Care\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrthodontic hand instruments are used all day and handled with gloves that are wet from saliva, so a clean, secure grip matters. Wipe off bonding resin, cement and elastomeric debris before it hardens, and clean joints and serrations with a brush before the instrument goes into the ultrasonic bath and autoclave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the tips for wear or bending at the start of each week, because a damaged tip can scratch brackets or tear elastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from medical grade stainless steel.
