Wire and wire form
Clasp Wire and BIOSTEEL® Nickel-Free Wire
Round spring hard wire in stainless steel or in BIOSTEEL®, the nickel-free alloy for patients with allergic reactions.
LEOWIRE®BIOSTEEL®C0450C0451
Clasp wire is the workhorse of removable appliance construction, and Leone supplies it in two alloys so that nickel allergy is never a reason to compromise.
LEOWIRE® round spring hard wire is a chromium stainless steel alloy, diamond drawn to obtain highly resistant and stainless levelled surfaces. Suitable for all orthodontic applications.
BIOSTEEL® round spring hard wire is a stainless steel alloy purposely made to prevent any nickel allergic reactions (Cr 16.5 %, Mn 11 %, Mo 2.7 %, N 0.5 %, balance Fe). Also suitable for all orthodontic applications. Nickel trace elements of ≤ 0.05 % are due to the process, not to the alloy design.
Both are supplied in standard spools for chairside use or in laboratory rolls where more wire is needed, and both are available in spring hard temper at 1800/2000 N/mm².
