Small Slim Orthodontic Cassette: 4 Pliers and 3 Hand Instruments, 203 x 178 x 19 mm

The small slim orthodontic cassette is designed around the reprocessing requirements specific to orthodontic pliers. Orthodontic pliers (particularly distal end cutters, ligature cutters, bird-beak pliers, and Weingart pliers) have fine, precisely formed working tips that can be damaged if the pliers shift and contact one another during transport or if they rest directly on the cassette floor during sterilization. The dedicated plier holders in this cassette support each plier individually with tips separated, preventing inter-instrument contact at every stage from chairside to sterilizer to storage and back to the chair.

Holding up to 4 pliers and 3 hand instruments, this cassette suits bonding and debonding appointment setups, routine adjustment appointments where only a subset of the full plier set is needed, and single-procedure setups where the clinician selects four pliers matched to the day’s clinical tasks. For complete orthodontic adjustment trays using the full plier range across an entire appointment, the large slim cassette holds 7 pliers and 4 hand instruments.

The 19 mm (0.75″) slim profile provides a meaningful sterilizer throughput advantage. In a sterilizer rack that holds a set number of standard 32 mm (1.25″) cassettes, the same vertical space accommodates more of the 19 mm slim cassettes, increasing how many plier sets can be sterilized per run. This directly supports the throughput requirements of high-volume orthodontic practices processing large numbers of adjustment trays each working day. Open-frame stainless steel construction allows complete in-cassette cleaning and sterilization. Autoclavable at standard steam sterilization parameters.

Product Features

• Small slim orthodontic cassette 19 mm (0.75″) depth fits more cassettes per sterilizer rack than standard 32 mm (1.25″) deep cassettes, supporting higher processing throughput per cycle
• Dedicated plier holders support each instrument individually with tips separated to prevent fine jaw damage during cleaning and sterilization
• Holds up to 4 pliers and 3 hand instruments, suited to bonding, debonding, and partial-plier adjustment appointment setups
• Single-tier design keeps pliers in fixed visible positions for quick chairside identification and retrieval
• Pairs with the large slim orthodontic cassette for full-range plier set coverage across different appointment types
• Medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable

Differentiates from Large Slim: Holds 4 pliers and 3 hand instruments versus 7 pliers and 4 hand instruments in the large version. Same 19 mm (0.75″) slim depth and single-tier design. The small is the correct choice for bonding, debonding, or adjustment appointments that require only a partial plier selection rather than the full range.
