3M Unitek Micro-Miniature Pin and Ligature Cutter
A precision cutter with sharp, diamond-honed tips for cutting soft ligature wire and pins right at the point of the blades.
The 3M Unitek Micro-Miniature Pin and Ligature Cutter is a precision hand instrument used by orthodontists to trim ligature wire and small pins right at the cutting point of the blades. Its tips are sharp and diamond honed, giving a clean cut with minimal wire distortion, which matters when working close to the gum line or in tight spaces around brackets where a blunter or larger instrument would be awkward to use.
010 inches in diameter, matching it to the fine gauge wire commonly used for ligature ties and similar auxiliaries rather than heavier archwire. Being a stainless precision instrument, it is intended to be sterilised and reused across patients rather than discarded, and its small, miniature scale suits the delicate access needed inside a patient's mouth during routine orthodontic adjustments.
