Band Seater, Autoclavable

Description

Band Seater, Autoclavable

Every banding kit needs a reliable way to press bands home. This autoclavable band seater does that job, and it can go through the steam cycle with your other tools. You will find only one version here.

Built for the Steam Cycle

Some seaters use parts that cannot take high heat. This one, by contrast, is listed as autoclavable. So you can process it in the same load as your pliers and pushers, without a separate cold soak.

Seating Bands With Confidence

First, fit and contour the band. Then place the seater on the band edge and apply firm, steady force. Next, move around the tooth to keep the band level. Check the height from the side before you cement.

Check the Seater Photo First

The catalogue gives only the name of this tool. So look at the product photo to check its working end and handle. If it differs from what you use now, ask us first.

A Banding Tray Checklist

Most banding trays include the same core items:

• Bands in the sizes you use.
• One contouring plier to shape the wall.
• Some kind of seater or pusher to press the band home.
• Your spatula for mixing band cement.

This autoclavable band seater fills the third slot.

Seater Cleanup Between Patients

Clean off cement right after use. Then dry the seater before it goes into the cycle. Also check the working end for wear, because a smooth, true surface spreads force evenly.

Ordering the Autoclavable Seater

Our spec defines this seater, and we give it a final look in the United States. Its stainless parts line up with ASTM F899. We back it for three years against manufacturing defects, so any factory flaw comes back to us. It leaves our hands non-sterile; clean and autoclave it, and it is ready to reuse. To press bands with a plier instead, see our band seating pliers. Explore our orthodontic products or the FAQ page for buyers.
