3M Applicator Handles, Color-Coded Set of Three
A set of three color-coded reusable handles that hold disposable brush tips, used for applying dental adhesive systems step by step. It is a standard item in dental and medical practice.
3M Applicator Handles are a set of three reusable, color-coded handles used together with disposable brush or fiber tips during dental bonding and adhesive procedures. Adhesive systems commonly involve several sequential steps, such as etching, priming and bonding, and using a differently colored handle for each step helps the clinician and assistant keep track of which liquid or gel is being applied at each stage, reducing the risk of mixing up bottles or contaminating a step with the wrong material.
The handles themselves are reusable, while the brush or fiber tips that clip into them are single use and are replaced for every patient. This system is used in general and restorative dentistry wherever bonding agents, etchants or sealants are applied by hand, and it supports a more organised, error resistant workflow for dentists and dental assistants during multi step adhesive procedures at the chairside.
