The Morelli Universal Arm Bending Instrument is a bending device built for thick orthodontic wires and rods, including Hyrax expander rods. Openings and slots along the 130 mm (5.1") body seat the wire securely and accept thicknesses up to 1.5 mm, giving controlled leverage for bends that are difficult to form by hand.
