Perry Cotton Pliers

Description

Perry Cotton Pliers

Cotton pliers are among the most handled tools on any dental tray. Our Perry cotton pliers come in two lengths and six catalogue options, so each operator can pick a size that suits the hand. For reference, they appear on the cotton pliers and tweezers page of the supplier catalogue, and Intrace USA ships them from Atlanta.

Everyday Tasks for a Perry Plier

First, the assistant uses them to place and remove cotton pellets and rolls. Also, they carry small restorative items, wedges and matrix pieces to the tooth. Then, during an exam, the dentist may use them to test a loose fragment or lift debris away. Because they are used so often, a comfortable length matters.

10.5 cm or 13 cm

The 10.5 cm version is short and light, which suits small hands and anterior work. In contrast, the 13 cm version gives more reach to posterior teeth and keeps the fingers further from the mouth. Many practices stock the longer size as standard and keep a few short pairs for pediatric trays.

Fig. 1 and the Style Rows

At 13 cm, the catalogue lists a plain 13 cm pattern, a Fig. 1 pattern, plus 13 cm, Style 2 and 13 cm, Style 3. Meanwhile, at 10.5 cm, there is the plain pattern and 10.5 cm, Style 2. The Style rows are additional Perry patterns from the same catalogue page, and no written difference is given. So compare the product photos for tip and handle form before choosing.

Checked, Guaranteed and Ready to Sterilize

Each Perry plier is checked in the United States for tip closure before it is packed. In addition, these cotton pliers come with a guarantee of three years against manufacturing defects in the spring or tips. They are supplied non-sterile, so put them through your normal cleaning and autoclave process on arrival.
