The Halo Sectional Matrix System Firm Stainless Steel Bands Kit is meticulously designed to facilitate the creation of anatomically contoured composite restorations with exceptional efficiency. This comprehensive kit includes components that synergistically work together to ensure tight interproximal contacts and natural tooth contours, thereby optimizing clinical outcomes and enhancing patient satisfaction.
- 2 Universal Matrix Rings: Crafted from durable glass-filled nylon with super-elastic nitinol, these rings provide consistent separation force and anatomical adaptability, effectively reducing flash and minimizing the need for extensive finishing.
- 25 Firm Matrix Bands (3.5 mm): Ultra-thin (0.038 mm) stainless steel bands with a non-stick Teflon™ coating, facilitating easy placement and removal.
- 25 Firm Matrix Bands (4.5 mm): Designed for adaptability in moderate interproximal spaces, these bands maintain their form during placement.
- 25 Firm Matrix Bands (5.5 mm): Ideal for standard Class II restorations, these bands provide a balance between flexibility and rigidity.
- 25 Firm Matrix Bands (6.5 mm): Suited for larger interproximal spaces, these bands ensure a snug fit against the tooth structure.
- 25 Firm Matrix Bands (7.5 mm): Optimal for extensive restorations, these bands offer enhanced stability during placement.
- 25 Small Wedges (Yellow): Anatomically shaped wedges that provide active separation, ensuring proper adaptation of the matrix band at the gingival margin.
- 25 Medium Wedges (Blue): Designed to fit a variety of tooth anatomies, these wedges assist in achieving optimal separation and adaptation.
- 25 Large Wedges (Green): Ideal for larger teeth or spaces requiring significant separation, these wedges enhance the effectiveness of the matrix system.
- 1 Halo Carousel: A convenient dispenser that organizes and stores all components securely, minimizing the risk of spills and facilitating quick access during procedures.
- Material: High-quality stainless steel bands with non-stick Teflon™ coating; nitinol rings; anatomically contoured wedges.
- Band Thickness: 0.038 mm, providing a thin yet durable matrix for precise restorations.
- Ring Design: Anatomically contoured with rigid glass-filled nylon tines and a super-elastic nitinol ring, ensuring consistent force and longevity over multiple uses.
- Wedge Design: Active wedging with a collapsible center for anatomical adaptation; stackable for enhanced separation.
- Sterilization: All components are autoclavable; the nitinol rings can withstand over 1,000 sterilization cycles without significant loss of force.
Clinically, the Halo Sectional Matrix System is utilized to achieve natural contours and tight interproximal contacts in composite restorations. The firm stainless steel matrix bands are particularly effective in tight interproximal spaces, maintaining their shape during placement. The anatomically contoured wedges provide enhanced separation, facilitating proper adaptation of the matrix band at the gingival margin. The nitinol rings offer consistent separation force, contributing to the overall success of Class II restorations. The included carousel dispenser ensures that all components are organized and easily accessible, streamlining the restorative process.
