Made in America, the double ended wire director/ ligature remover is designed to meet all your Self ligating and traditional bracket needs. The beauty of this instrument is in the angles. The wire director is curved and rotated making it easy to access the bracket. Use it to compress and hold back coil spring while forcing the wire fully into the bracket. Ligature remover is designed sturdy enough to open SLB gates, but small enough to easily remove standard ligature ties.
