Ortho Direct Crimpable Ball Hooks

Crimpable surgical hooks made of stainless steel, which are placed on wire up to .022" x .025" in diameter. They work as an anchor to place auxiliary accessories such as elastic, chains, or springs to help make space closures and bite or displace teeth. To properly tighten these crimpable hooks and prevent them from sliding, it is recommended that they be placed on stainless steel wire and use pliers to crimp straight or angled hooks.

Indication:

• Maintain wire positioning & tooth movement.

• Material: Stainless Steel
