The band pusher end seats the band, and the scaler end removes excess cement or flash around the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pusher tip is rectangular with single direction horizontal serrations. Unlike cross-serrated pushers, the one-way lines give a firm, non-slip hold on the edge of the band without too much friction or damage to the band material under downward pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scaler end has a small, modified hook. The compact shape gets into tight posterior spaces to remove excess cement. Use the pusher end for seating, then turn the instrument to clean the margins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eUse and Care\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrthodontic hand instruments are used all day and handled with gloves that are wet from saliva, so a clean, secure grip matters. Wipe off bonding resin, cement and elastomeric debris before it hardens, and clean joints and serrations with a brush before the instrument goes into the ultrasonic bath and autoclave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the tips for wear or bending at the start of each week, because a damaged tip can scratch brackets or tear elastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from medical grade stainless steel. Autoclavable for repeated sterilization cycles. Clean and dry the instrument after each use, and check the working ends for wear or damage before it goes into the pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand pusher end with a rectangular tip and single direction horizontal serrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-slip hold on the band edge without excess friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaler end with a small modified hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoves excess cement and flash around seated bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccess to tight posterior spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical grade stainless steel, autoclavable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SurgiWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67751024329018,"sku":"RT823","price":59.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/Band-Pusher-Scaler-02.webp?v=1792584859","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-band-pusher-and-scaler-single-sided-serrated-tip-rt823","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
