The Morelli Short Direct Bond Bracket Holder is a 130 mm orthodontic tweezer designed for safe, precise grasping of brackets and accessories during direct bonding. It is the short version of the 145 mm Direct Bond Bracket Holder: the same grasping tip and the same finished handle end, in a body 15 mm shorter that keeps the fingers closer to the working field.
Key Features
130 mm short body — 15 mm shorter than the standard 145 mm holder, bringing the grip closer to the tip for finer control in the anterior region and in smaller mouths.
Secure bracket grasping — the angled tip holds brackets and accessories firmly while the adhesive is still workable.
Millimeter-marked aligner blade — the handle end carries a 10 mm graduated blade with laser marks every 1 mm, used to check bracket height and seat the bracket after placement.
Fits narrow to wide twin brackets — one instrument covers the full bracket range on the tray.
Stainless steel construction — corrosion resistant and dimensionally stable across repeated sterilization cycles.
Autoclavable at 121 °C (250 °F) — reusable instrument validated by Morelli for steam sterilization.
