The purpose of distal end cutter would be also to not allow you to damage the tubes, because if you accidentally crimp it then Ohio will not slide to it and then you will have to change your band over the tube. If you have a larger distal cutter and you can’t see really well back there you can accidentally crimp the tube and then you will change the shape of the tube and of course your larger wire like the 19/25 ball will not slide through it and then you have to change it. It’s very important to find the cutter that’s going to be able to accomplish the two things which is cut the wire, cut it flush to the tube as well as to hold the wire so it doesn’t fall into the patient’s mouth.
