Article NES-3676

13.5cm Grooved for accuracy, the Article NES-3676 Arch Counting Plier is built specifically for double-back and triple-back band work on lingual arch wires. It handles two wire sizes precisely: 0.30″ / 0.76mm and 0.36″ / 0.91mm, making it a dual-purpose instrument for common lingual appliance sizes. Length: 13.5cm Wire compatibility: 0.30″ (0.76mm) and 0.36″ (0.91mm) Function: forms double-back and triple-back bends on lingual arch wires Jaw design: grooved for accurate wire seating during bending Material: stainless steel, fully autoclavable The grooves in the jaw aren't just cosmetic; they help seat the wire in a fixed position before the bend is made, so the final back-bend lands consistently in the same spot every time. That consistency matters a lot in lingual arch fabrication, where precise back-bends directly affect how the appliance seats and functions in the mouth. Because it's built around two exact wire diameters rather than a general range, this plier suits labs and practices that regularly work with standard lingual arch wire sizes and want a dedicated tool rather than adapting a general-purpose plier for the job. Stainless steel construction means it stands up to the sterilization cycles and daily handling that come with lab and clinical use alike.
