Niti wire-.016

[trisha]

I have a dr. that is wanting me to make a retainer w/ .016 niti wires. The pt. is allergic to certain metals. Does anyone have a .016 niti wire that I could purchase? I am asking around because a tube of 10 is $80. I probably will never use it again and am looking to save a few bucks. I would be more then happy to pay for it and the shipping.
Thank you,
trisha

Guess what???!!
I just hapen to have a spool about 500 feet long.
It's .028 however.
I used it to make labial bows and clasping. If your Dr. can live with .028 I'll send you about enough for the rest of your life.
I rarely use it. I got it from GL years ago. e in Germany.
It's called Menzanium. e for those with allergies.
Biocompatable nitrogen alloy. Patients that we used it on never had a problem.
I feel like such a dweeb, maybe someday there will be something new.
There is always something magic, always something new.

Oh yeah...it's on its way.

Thanks Mike, I only need a very small amount, less then a foot.
A check is in the mail.
Your a life saver.

tried the instruments you sent and my super modified spring retainer came out really nice, I did not have to use a cutting burr on the acrylic! It is a cleaner look.

Too late, went out yesterday, probably won't get it until Thurs. with the p.o. honoring veterans day. It is for all of your help, wish I could send more, but maybe you can take Linda to dinner.
