Schwarz Arrow Clasp Forming Pliers
Arrow clasps are a classic way to retain a removable appliance. These Schwarz arrow clasp pliers form and bend that clasp shape. The catalogue lists them as a clasp forming and bending plier, offered as one item.
A Tool With One Main Job
Some pliers do a bit of everything. This one has a clear focus. It shapes the arrow clasp, which then sits between teeth to grip the appliance. Because of that focus, labs that make many removable appliances find it handy.
No Wire Figure Listed
The catalogue gives no wire rating for this plier. So we will not guess one. Instead, use the wire your lab already uses for arrow clasps, and stop if the plier strains. When in doubt, ask us before you order.
Fitting It Into the Lab
Arrow clasp work tends to sit beside other appliance steps. For instance, a technician may bend springs with a loop plier, then form the clasps with this one. Finally, a cutter trims the wire ends. Keeping these tools together saves time.

- Made for removable appliance work
- Single item, Schwarz pattern
- Ships non-sterile
Keep It Clean and True
After each session, brush the beaks and the joint. Then dry the plier before storage. Check that the tips still meet as they should. A plier that closes true makes clasps that match from side to side.
Our Standards
It follows our own drawing. Though it comes to you non-sterile, it is reusable after you clean and sterilise it.
A fault in the making is not your cost to bear, since these arrow clasp pliers hold three years against manufacturing defects. The steel inside is stainless and follows ASTM F899. To bend the springs on the same plate, try the Schwarz loop forming plier. You can see every pattern in our orthodontic instrument shop, and our FAQs for buyers answer the usual questions.
