Adhesive removing instruments from KOMET USA

Instruments developed for orthodontists to remove tough adhesive residue.

ROCK HILL, South Carolina--KOMET USA's adhesive removing instruments were developed as special instruments for orthodontists to remove tough adhesive residue.

A study with Ralf Radlanski, DDS, at the University of Berlin, shows these instruments remove adhesive quickly, and with their special toothing, without damaging the enamel. At low contact pressure, the instruments operate with low vibration and achieve perfectly smooth surfaces while generating minimal heat.

This is due to its innovative blade geometry. Its twisted blades, made of durable tungsten carbide, are suited for precise reduction of soft materials and assure smooth operation providing maximum treatment comfort.

These instruments are available in three different forms: H22ALGK.204.016, H22ALGK.314.016, and H379AGK.314.023. In order to avoid the risk of damaging the gingiva, all adhesive removers are provided with smooth, non-cutting tips, and the safety chamfer at the head's end eliminates the formation of grooves.

The tapered instrument is available for contra-angle and turbine handpieces. The H22ALGK is designed specifically for canines and long anterior teeth, and the egg-shape (H379AGK) instrument is suited for the palatinal reduction of adhesive in the lingual technique.
