Ivory 8 Matrix Retainer

Ivory 8 Matrix Retainer

Product Description

The Ivory #8 Matrix Retainer by G14 Surgical is a premium, specialized dental restorative instrument engineered for the secure adaptation and tensioning of matrix bands during Class II cavity restorations. This classic mechanical retainer wraps entirely around the tooth crown, making it highly effective for simultaneous multi-surface restorations, such as Mesial-Occlusal-Distal (MOD) preparations. Forged from high-grade surgical stainless steel, it features an intuitive dual-screw adjustment mechanism: one screw safely locks the matrix band ends into the jaw clamping system, while the other fine-tunes the circumferential tension around the tooth. Its low-profile design ensures structural stability and minimal interference within the oral cavity, allowing clinicians to predictably reconstruct anatomically correct proximal contours and tight interproximal contact points.
