Sklar Merit Goslee Flat Nose Pliers
A flat nose plier used in dental laboratory work to grip, bend and adjust wire and clasp components without marking the metal surface.
The Sklar Merit Goslee Flat Nose Pliers is a hand tool with smooth, flat jaws used to grip and bend wire and small metal components during dental appliance fabrication without leaving marks or indentations on the metal surface. This is useful when the wire being shaped will remain visible or in close contact with soft tissue, where a toothed jaw could leave a mark that affects both appearance and fit.
Dental technicians and dentists use pliers of this type when adjusting partial denture clasps, orthodontic wires and other components that require careful, mark free shaping by hand. The flat jaw design also allows the operator to hold flat stock or sheet metal components securely while other work is carried out around them.
This pattern is a long standing standard tool in dental laboratory kits, valued for its simplicity and reliability across many years of clinical and laboratory use. Constructed from hardened stainless steel, it holds its shape and grip through repeated use and can be sterilised between clinical applications.
It is typically stocked alongside other dental laboratory pliers.
