Wiland Amalgam Carver, Fig. 8

Description

Wiland Amalgam Carver, Fig. 8

The Wiland amalgam carver is a named restorative instrument for carving amalgam to shape before it hardens. Fig. 8 is the Wiland figure our supplier lists in its amalgam carvers section. This page offers that one figure in two styles, so the only decision is which version suits your hand.

Style 1 and Style 2 of Fig. 8

Style 1 is the first catalogue row for Wiland Fig. 8. Style 2 is the same figure printed on the next catalogue page, fitted to another Wiland handle pattern. Neither Wiland handle is named or measured in print. Therefore we suggest opening both photos and comparing the grip, the handle profile and the overall look.

Carving Amalgam With Fig. 8

Amalgam gives the clinician a limited working time after condensation. During that window, the carver removes excess, defines the margins and restores occlusal anatomy. So a carver that feels familiar in the hand saves time when it matters. If you trained on Wiland Fig. 8, this page lets you keep that same pattern.

Mixing Styles Across a Team

One style across every operatory keeps trays identical and simplifies restocking. However, some teams order both styles, because clinicians differ in grip preference. Either way, the working figure stays the same, so carving results are comparable between rooms. In addition, a second Fig. 8 gives cover while one is in the sterilizer.

Wiland Steel, Checks and Coverage

Both Wiland styles are stainless steel, and each Fig. 8 receives a United States hand check from our staff before boxing. Wiland carvers are sent unsterilized; clean and autoclave Style 1 or Style 2 before carving begins. We give each Wiland Fig. 8 three years against manufacturing defects whichever style you choose.

Our steel is made to ASTM F899, as shown on the FDA recognized standards page. View more carvers in Diagnostic, Periodontal and Restorative Instruments, pair Fig. 8 with the Amalgam Condensers and Pluggers used before carving, and check our FAQs for order support.

Wiland carvers are meant for trained dental clinicians. Reprocess Fig. 8 per our care and sterilization advice and expect delivery per shipping and delivery.
