The Distal Bender is a reusable orthodontic instrument manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel, available in two archwire diameter sizes — Large (ø 0.75mm / 0.030″) and Small (ø 0.55mm / 0.022″) — designed for precise bending and tucking of archwire distal ends during orthodontic bracket and appliance placement. Certified to CE, ISO 13485, and FDA standards, this instrument is used by orthodontists and dental clinicians in orthodontic practices, dental hospitals, and specialist orthodontic clinics.
Angled Tube Tip Design for Distal Archwire Bending and End Tucking
The Distal Bender features a long handle with an angled tube on the working end, engineered specifically for engaging and bending the distal portion of archwires intraorally without disturbing the bracket seating or wire engagement. The angled tip profile allows accurate access to the posterior segments of the dental arch where direct manipulation is otherwise difficult. This design reduces the risk of wire end trauma to soft tissue while maintaining precise control over the bend direction and angle.
Archwire Size Compatibility: Large 0.030″ and Small 0.022″ Diameter Variants
The Distal Bender is available in two size variants to accommodate the archwire diameters used across different orthodontic treatment protocols. The Large variant fits archwires of ø 0.75mm (0.030″) and the Small variant fits ø 0.55mm (0.022″). Selecting the correctly sized instrument ensures the archwire seats fully within the tube tip without slippage, allowing controlled and repeatable distal bends across all treatment stages from initial alignment through finishing archwires.
Medical-Grade Stainless Steel Construction for Orthodontic Instrument Durability
Each Distal Bender is manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, and surface hardness appropriate for repeated clinical use and sterilization cycles. The instrument is rust-free and maintains its working geometry across extended use in high-turnover orthodontic clinical environments. Stainless steel construction ensures the angled tube tip retains its profile without deformation under the mechanical forces involved in archwire bending.
Autoclave Sterilization Compatibility for Reusable Orthodontic Instruments
The Distal Bender is a reusable instrument fully compatible with standard autoclave and steam sterilization protocols used in licensed dental and orthodontic facilities. Each instrument withstands repeated thermal sterilization cycles without deformation of the tube tip geometry or degradation of the handle surface. Facilities should follow their validated sterilization cycle parameters and reprocessing guidelines for Class I reusable dental instruments.
CE Mark, ISO 13485, and FDA Certification for Orthodontic Instrument Procurement
The Distal Bender is classified as a Class I medical device manufactured under CE Mark, ISO 13485, and FDA compliant quality standards. ISO 13485 certification confirms Peak Surgicals maintains a documented quality management system covering design control, material traceability, and manufacturing consistency for dental and orthodontic instruments. CE Mark confirms conformity with European medical device regulations, and FDA compliance supports procurement for US-based orthodontic practices, dental schools, and hospital orthodontic departments.
