Product Description
Kobayashi Wire, officially known as hooked ligature wire, is a pre formed stainless steel ligature wire specifically designed for orthodontics. Its core feature is a pre made traction hook at the end, which is used to secure the archwire and provide a traction fulcrum. It is an efficient consumable in orthodontic clinical practice, with an integrated design of pre formed traction hooks and ligatures, which simplifies operation, saves time, and improves comfort. It is widely used in various fixed orthodontic cases that require traction.There are two types of Kobayashi wires, 0.01 and 0.012 inches. There are two packaging methods: bagged and tube packed, with 100 pieces per bag or tube.This is also one of the products in our range of dental consumables.
Core
Features
Pre
formed hook: The traction hook is pre made at the factory and does not require
a doctor to bend it on site, saving time and efficiency.
Dual
function: It has the dual functions of ligation and fixation (tying archwire)
and traction hook (hanging rubber band/spring).
Smooth
and low friction: Surface polishing treatment reduces mucosal irritation and
friction, making patients more comfortable.
Rigid
and elastic balance: easy to bend, not easy to break, firmly tied and able to
withstand continuous traction.
Clinical
use
Traction
hook fixation: No additional welding hook is required, it can be directly tied
to any bracket to quickly establish the traction fulcrum.
Hanging
rubber bands/springs: used for Class II/III traction, vertical traction, seam
closure, and adjustment of bite.
Alternative
temporary support: Used as a temporary traction hook before planting
screws/bone nails.
Simplified
operation: reduces bending time, improves chair side efficiency, especially
suitable for novice doctors.
Product Specifications
| Type | Orthodontic Products |
| Name | Stainless Steel–Kobayashi wire |
| Size | 0.010/0.012 inch |

Ligation
method: Same
as ordinary ligature wire, wrap the body end around the bracket wing, tighten
the fixing archwire, and pull the hook outward.
Hook length control:
Reserve a hook length of 3-4mm. If it is too long, it is easy
to prick the mucosa, and if it is too short, it is difficult to hang the rubber
band.
End treatment:
Cut the end of the ligature wire short and press it under the
archwire to avoid puncturing the soft tissues of the oral cavity.
Applicable scenarios:
Mostly used for upper and lower jaw canines, premolar areas, and
tooth positions that require traction.
