SS Ligature Tie (Short) for Orthodontic Supplies | Precision Stainless Steel Orthodontic Ligatures | Efficient Bracket Securing System
Product Description
The SS Ligature Tie (Short) is a high-performance orthodontic accessory engineered for optimal archwire stabilization in fixed appliance systems. Utilizing surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, this ligature wire combines exceptional tensile strength (1,500-1,800 MPa) with corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable performance in diverse intraoral environments. Designed for both upper and lower arch applications, it supports precise torque control and reduces friction during tooth movement, making it ideal for orthodontists seeking efficiency and predictability in treatment outcomes.
Technical Specifications
Diameter Options: 010 (0.25mm) for light force applications, 012 (0.30mm) for moderate-to-heavy force requirements
Packaging: Sterile, tamper-proof jars containing 200 units per pack.
Material Compliance: Meets ASTM F138 standards for medical-grade stainless steel, ensuring biocompatibility and durability
Advanced Engineering Features
Optimized Geometry
Short-length design (5.5mm) minimizes excess wire protrusion, enhancing patient comfort and reducing soft tissue irritation.
Pre-formed omega loops ensure consistent ligation force distribution, preventing archwire slippage during mastication or speech.
Surface Technology
Electropolished finish reduces microbial adhesion by 60% compared to conventional ligatures, supporting better oral hygiene maintenance.
Low-friction coating (patent-pending) decreases wire-bracket interaction forces by 15%, facilitating smoother sliding mechanics.
Clinical Performance
Laboratory-tested to withstand >10,000 cyclic loading cycles at 20N, demonstrating superior fatigue resistance for long-term stability.
Compatible with self-ligating brackets, traditional MBT systems, and lingual orthodontic appliances.
Operational Advantages
Time Efficiency: Pre-cut design eliminates chairside trimming, saving 3-5 minutes per patient appointment.
Inventory Management: Bulk packaging (200/jar) with color-coded lids (010-blue, 012-red) streamlines storage and reduces waste.
Cross-Platform Adaptability: Validated for use with nickel-titanium, stainless steel, and TMA archwires across multiple bracket systems.
Evidence-Based Design
Clinical Study Data:
94% reduction in emergency visits due to ligature failure (n=120 patients, 6-month trial).
82% of orthodontists reported improved mid-treatment adjustment accuracy in a multicenter survey.
Sustainability Focus
Recyclable steel material aligns with eco-conscious dental practice initiatives.
Gamma-irradiated sterilization process eliminates chemical waste compared to ethylene oxide methods.
