The Ixion IX900s has all the great features of the Ixion 900 yet is just smaller in size and idea for use on softer alloys up a maximum of .016 x .022mm. Our development team have solved the age old challenge faced when using Distal End Cutters on softer alloys. The new construction of the IX900s Plier enables beta titanium, braided and co-axial wires to be cut routinely with ease. The Tungsten carbide insets ensure precision cutting, long wear and unsurpassed cutting performance.
