Ligature Director & Plugger – Double Ended Orthodontic

Ligature Director & Plugger – Double-Ended Orthodontic Tool (Stainless Steel)

A versatile, double-ended orthodontic hand instrument combining the functions of a ligature director and plugger. Designed for efficient control and precision, this tool helps guide ligatures and archwires into place and also plug or press them securely at bracket sites. Made of durable stainless steel, it is built for repeated clinical use and sterilization.

Key Features

  One end features a ligature director tip to guide and tuck elastic ligatures or wires, while the opposite end acts as a plugger to press or compact them securely. 

• Handle Profile
  Uses a standard ergonomic handle size that balances grip stability and instrument control.

• Stainless Steel Construction
  Made of high-grade stainless steel to resist corrosion and maintain strength under repeated sterilization.

• Autoclavable & Reusable
  Designed to sustain repeated sterilization cycles without losing shape, performance, or reliability.

• Balanced Weight & Design
  Light enough for precise hand control yet solid enough to apply moderate pressure when plugging ligatures.
