3M AlastiK QuiK-StiK Separators with Thumb Ring
Elastomeric separators built around a central thumb ring for quick, easy dispensing, used to create space before orthodontic band fitting.
3M AlastiK QuiK-StiK Separators are elastomeric separators designed with a central thumb ring that makes them faster and easier to dispense and place than a standard loose separator module. Orthodontists use separators like these to create room between adjacent teeth ahead of fitting an orthodontic band, and the QuiK-StiK design is aimed at speeding up that step during a busy clinic session by giving the clinician a simple grip point to work the separator into the contact between two teeth.
The separator is left in place for a short period before the banding appointment, during which the gentle sustained pressure gradually opens the contact enough for the band to seat properly. As a single-use consumable, each separator is removed once its job is done and discarded rather than reused. This listing is supplied under two catalog numbers, likely reflecting different pack sizes or minor design variants of the same QuiK-StiK format.
