Combination bending pliers and bending pliers for 2.0 and 2.4 plates (locking and nonlocking), bending iron and shortcut plate cutter for 2.4 plates and the plate/rod cutter
Currently over seven instruments are available to either cut or bend plates. Hence they have to be combined with instruments that perform the other function. This adds to the size and complexity of instrument sets. The mandible plate bender/Cutter set is intended to offer the functionality of benders and cutters in one instrument set. The instruments are offered in one compact, organized insert tray, and allow for performance of the following functions:
- Bending of 2.0 and 2.4 mandible plates in-plane, out-of-plane, and in torsion.
- Bending of the last segment of a plate.
- Cutting of Mandible Plates with the integral cutter.
- Burr removal from cut plates.
