I need help locating a disposable wire cutter for dental patients to take home with them. Does anyone know where I can start this search? Thanks again for the help.

We purchase a floor-grade angled, wire scissor and it is sent home with patients having mandible wiring, etc. It cuts 26 gauge wire and smaller.

The wire cutters that we send home with our pts (primarily broken jaws that have been wired shut) are not really disposable, but aren't all that expensive, either. We purchase them from Jarit in the $8-15 range. I have seen some disposable ones that have "Pakistan" stamped into them as the only identifying mark. I didn't like using them because they came non-sterile and we had quite a few them rust in the sterilizer.
