Jarabak orthodontic pliers are designed for bending and closing loops on lighter wires up to 0.020 inches in diameter. The tips have a tapered beak, ideal for tight loop forming and closing. The jaws are serrated for precise gripping and bending of archwires. The pliers may have tip inserts to prevent scoring of wire. Jarabak orthodontic pliers may also feature a cutter for an all-in-one tool. These pliers should be constructed of surgical grade stainless steel to ensure strength, durability and corrosion resistance, and be fully autoclavable.
