Ortho Ligature Coon, Ligature Plier

The Ortho Ligature Coon, Ligature Plier 678-211 is a specialized orthodontic tool used for:

1. Tying Stainless Steel Ligature Wires: It is most commonly used for tying stainless steel ligature wires up to .015 inches (.38 mm) in diameter. These ligature wires are used to attach the archwire to the brackets in braces, and this plier is designed to facilitate this process​​​​.

2. Design Features: This tool is made with reverse-action handles and precise tips to allow for more accurate work. It is also crafted from 440A stainless steel, which ensures durability and longevity​​.

3. Non-Cutting and Smooth Tips: It is specified as a non-cutting tool with a smooth tip texture, indicating it is designed for tying rather than cutting wires, and its smooth edges help prevent damage to the wire or injury during use​​.

These pliers are an essential instrument in orthodontics, providing the necessary precision and ease of use for orthodontists when applying ligatures to braces.
