The Quinelato Three Jaw Pliers forms hooks in orthodontic archwire. Its trident-shaped tip gives three points of contact around the wire, so the loop closes in a consistent shape with each squeeze of the handle.
Key Features
Trident tip — three contact points wrap the wire for a consistent hook shape
Hook-forming function — bends the wire around the jaw in one controlled motion
Repeatable geometry — the fixed jaw shape produces matching hooks across an arch
Ergonomic handle — supports steady pressure through the bending motion
Surgical stainless steel — corrosion resistant and autoclavable for repeated use
