Stainless steel laboratory WIRE for retainers and LIGATURE work.
Gauge decides stiffness, and stiffness decides whether the appliance holds. WIRE is specified by diameter, not by name.

Using it well
- Order by gauge and diameter, not by description — 18GA is 1.0mm, 19GA is 0.9mm, 20GA is 0.8mm.
- Work-hardened WIRE snaps. Limit repeated bending at the same point.
- Store dry; surface corrosion transfers into the appliance.
