Smaha Elastomeric Ligature Placing Forceps, 140 mm
A good module tool feels like part of your hand. These Smaha placing forceps measure 140 mm and help you put elastomeric ligatures on brackets. The catalogue lists the name and length only. So we describe the task and suggest a look at the photo.
The 140 mm Length
Length affects reach and balance. A 140 mm forceps gives you room to reach the back teeth. At the same time, it stays light enough for a long session. If your team prefers a shorter tool, we also stock 120 mm Falcon versions.
Placing a Module, Step by Step
First, take a module from the stick with the tips. Next, hook it under one tie wing. Then stretch it across the archwire to the other wings. Finally, let it go and check that it sits evenly. With practice, the whole move takes only a moment.
Why Clinics Add a Second Pattern
- Different hands favour different shapes.
- A spare keeps the chair running during reprocessing.
- A second pattern can suit certain areas of the arch.
Since we sell it singly, you can add one at a time.
Tip Alignment and Cleaning
Modules leave small bits behind on the tips. So scrub them after each patient, then rinse and dry well. Also, hold the tips to the light and check that they meet. The forceps leave us non-sterile. Afterwards, clean and sterilize them, and they are ready to use again.
