Dental Schwarz 13cm
The Dental Schwarz 13cm measures 130mm in overall length and is forged from surgical-grade stainless steel with a mirror-polish finish across the full body. The jaw design is the instrument’s most clinically specific feature: one beak carries a cylindrical hollow bore while the opposing beak has a square-notched channel. This dual-profile configuration; clearly shown in both jaw close-up thumbnails in the product image, allows the instrument to simultaneously grip and bend round wires and flat metal bars used in removable orthodontic appliances. The Leader Surgical brand mark is engraved on the handle face.
The box-joint hinge maintains strict jaw alignment during wire compression. A spring-action mechanism keeps the handles separated between working strokes. The handles are wide, flat-sided, and long-bodied, stepping down at an angle toward the compact jaw. The Schwarz Model III Wire and Bar Bending Pliers designation specifically identifies this hollow-and-square jaw variant, built for heavier wire and bar stock found in acrylic-based removable plates. The instrument withstands full autoclave sterilization at 134°C without jaw misalignment.
Orthodontists use the Dental Schwarz 13cm when adjusting Schwarz removable expansion appliances, bending the retaining wire framework, reshaping Adams clasps, and adjusting the labial bow on acrylic expansion plates during mixed dentition treatment. The Orthodontic Plier 13.5cm series shares this same jaw philosophy but in a slightly longer format for deeper posterior access.
Leader Surgical applies traceable material standards and dimensional verification to every instrument in its catalog, making this Schwarz variant a dependable tool for the precise wire-and-bar adjustment work that removable appliance therapy demands daily.
What is the primary use of the Schwarz 13cm Plier?
The plier is specifically designed to bend arrowhead clasps so they can effectively engage the retentive undercuts of teeth in removable appliances. It is also used to contour archwires and springs.
