Koden Light Wire Tucker (KWT)

Description

Koden Light Wire Tucker is a specialized orthodontic instrument designed for safely and effectively handling archwires. Available in double-ended and single-ended configurations, this tool features a specially designed notch on the working end that allows the operator to apply precise pressure to the archwire. This pressure helps to bend the wire into the bracket slot, ensuring a secure fit. The primary purpose of the light wire tucker is to tuck the ends of the archwire, preventing them from protruding and causing discomfort or injury to the soft tissues in the mouth. Its design makes it harmless to the patient while also preventing wire scoring, ensuring the integrity of the archwire. Koden and other manufacturers provide highly sterilized, surgical-grade stainless steel instruments, ensuring durability and hygiene in orthodontic procedures.

• Position the notched end of the tucker against the archwire close to the bracket.
• Apply gentle, precise pressure to bend the archwire into the bracket slot using the notch as a guide.
