Zest Anchors has announced the introduction of the next-generation Locator R-Tx removable attachment system, which is designed to be stronger and simpler than the Locatorbut relies on the same restorative techniques as its predecessor.
Practical benefits of the Locator R-Tx include:
- DuraTec titanium carbon nitride coating, which is aesthetic, harder, and more wear resistant
- An industry-standard .050-in / 1.25-mm* hex drive mechanism (no special drivers are required)
- Dual-retentive features on the abutment and nylon retention insert that work in harmony with the redesigned denture attachment housing to allow for a 50% increase in pivoting capability (60 degrees between implants) and provide easier alignment and overdenture seating during insertion and removal for the patient
- The redesigned denture attachment housing also incorporates flats and grooves that resist movement and is anodized pink for aesthetics
- All-in-one packaging: A double-ended vial separately holds abutment and processing components, providing all the necessary components for the case with one part number
"Clinicians, implant manufacturers, and patients alike have come to trust the original Locator attachment system and helped propel it to market-leading status," said Steve Schiess, CEO of Zest Anchors. "We’ve listened to [input] from the implant community over the years and applied pragmatic improvements to this next generation design. We’re confident the user experience with Locator R-Tx will be incrementally rewarding."
