Description

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.
