The Artman 5" Orthodontic Ligature Wire Cutter is designed for precise chairside trimming of fine orthodontic wires and auxiliaries. Its compact cutting head improves access around brackets, while the carbon-infused edge supports controlled cuts. A wire-holding tip helps retain the trimmed segment after separation, limiting loose wire fragments in the oral cavity.
Clinical Applications
- Trim 0.010" ligature ties and laceback wires
- Cut excess Kobayashi hook wire after placement
- Trim selected 0.012", 0.014", and 0.016" SS/NiTi wires as specified by Artman
Key Features
- 5-inch length for compact intraoral handling
- Carbon-infused cutting tip for fine-wire trimming
- Wire-retaining tip holds the offcut after cutting
- Water-sand finish with ergonomic curved handles

Wire Compatibility & Use
This is a fine-wire cutter, not a heavy-wire cutter. Stay within Artman’s stated wire range and avoid hard or thick archwires outside those limits. Position the cutting edge at the intended trim point and confirm the offcut is retained before removal.
Care & Sterilization
Clean the joint and cutting surfaces after use. Inspect the cutting edges and retaining tip for wear or damage, then steam sterilize according to your validated reprocessing protocol.
