Rubber Dam Clamps

Description

Rubber Dam Clamps

Isolation holds the dam in place, and the clamp is what anchors it to the tooth. These rubber dam clamps come in 59 figures from one supplier catalogue, so a practice can rebuild a full kit or replace a single lost clamp. Intrace USA, an Atlanta distributor, has each clamp inspected in the United States by hand before it leaves our Atlanta shelf.

How the 59 Figures Group Together

The catalogue identifies clamps by figure label only. So the groups below follow the labels, not tooth types:

• Plain numbered clamps: Fig 00 and Fig 0, then Fig 1 to 4, Fig 6 to 11, Fig 14, 15, 18 and 22, Fig 24 to 31, and finally Fig 51, 138 and 139.
• A-suffix versions: Fig 1A, Fig 2A, Fig 7A, Fig 8A, Fig 12A, Fig 13A, Fig 14A, Fig 14AN and Fig 56A.
• Our 200 series: Fig 200 to Fig 212, plus Fig 214.
• Wingless W patterns: Fig W2A, Fig W3 and Fig W8A.
• Letter-coded figures: Fig N06, Fig U67, Fig P1, Fig P2, Fig G-1 and Fig G-2.

Winged or Wingless

Clamps with wings let you stretch the dam over the wings and carry clamp, dam and frame to the tooth together. In contrast, a wingless clamp goes on first, and the dam follows over the bow. Therefore, pick the W figures if your team prefers the clamp-first method.

Matching Figures to Your Kit

Most clinicians already know their preferred figure numbers from training or an existing kit. First, read the figure stamped on your current clamp, if present. Then order the same label here. When a figure is new to you, compare the photos with a clamp you trust before buying several.

Spring Life and Cleaning

A clamp loses grip if it is overstretched on the forceps. So open it only as far as the tooth needs. Clamps reach you non-sterile, which means cleaning and autoclaving come first. Whichever figure you choose, our clamp warranty lasts three years against manufacturing defects.

Clamp steel meets ASTM F899. Explore isolation and restorative tools in our Diagnostic, Periodontal and Restorative listing, place clamps with the Rubber Dam Clamps Forceps set, or check our FAQs for dental buyers.
