Waldent Wal-Dam Premium Rubber Dam Clamps Kit Titanium Gold 11G.Rubber Dam Clamps are used to isolate the operating site (one or more teeth) to protect the oral tissue from saliva or other fluids. Our 11 pcs set contains a comprehensive range of clamps used in restorative dentistry.SIGNIFICANCE OF TITANIUM GOLD PLATING ON DENTAL INSTRUMENTS:Improving thermal conductivity:Thermal conductivity refers to the rate at which heat passes through a material. Several metals exhibit high levels of thermal conductivity, which enables the electroplated device to carry heat away from the body. This minimizes the risk of burns and the formation of adhesions.Increasing compatibility between different metals:Some medical devices are manufactured with several types of metals that must be welded together, which can prove challenging. Coating the pieces with a metal such as gold or nickel can make them compatible to welding, which improves the quality of the finished product.Facilitating electrical conductivity:Certain medical devices require the transmission of an electric current to function properly. Many types of metals, especially gold, silver and copper, are excellent conductors of electricity and are able to carry current efficiently.Enhancing wear resistance:Heavily used medical devices and surgical instruments can experience wear and tear that can result in their premature demise. A metal coating can increase the device’s wear resistance and lengthen its lifespanImproving corrosion resistance:Implants,composite instruments and other medical devices that are implanted in the human body are exposed to moisture that can eventually cause corrosion. Electroplating can provide a protective barrier that will prevent rust formationCreating radiopaque features:The term “radiopaque” means a material is not transparent to X-rays or other forms of radiation. Coating a medical device with gold or another high-density metal will establish a radiopaque area that can be detected via radiography, meaning the gold can block the radiation emitted by the X-raysProviding biocompatibility:Some medical devices, particularly implants or other devices that are placed inside the body, must be biocompatible, meaning they won’t pose harm to human tissue. Certain medical coatings will render the underlying material biocompatible, making it safe for use in various medical and surgical procedures.IDEAL USE:Rubber Dam Clamp No. 2A: Flat jaws for larger premolarsRubber Dam Clamp No. 211: Universal clamp for labial cavities on anteriors.Rubber Dam Clamp No. 210: Offset flat jaws and stiff bow for anterior teethRubber Dam Clamp No. 13A: Serrated offset jaws for lower left molarsRubber Dam Clamp No. 12A: Serrated offset jaws for lower right molarsRubber Dam Clamp No. 201: Slightly festooned jaws for upper molarsRubber Dam Clamp No. 3: Flat narrow jaws for Flat jaws for lower molars. small lower molarRubber Dam Clamp No. 4: Flat narrow jaws for small upper molars.
