3M Filtek Restorative Capsule Dispenser
A dispenser for applying Filtek composite materials supplied in capsule format, with an easy-pull trigger and rotatable holder for straightforward loading.
The 3M Filtek Restorative Capsule Dispenser is a hand held dispenser designed for applying Filtek composite restorative materials supplied in capsule format directly at the chairside. Its easy-pull trigger and ergonomic design are intended to reduce the force needed to extrude material from the capsule, which can help reduce operator fatigue during a busy day of restorative procedures.
A rotatable capsule holder is included to make loading and unloading capsules easier than earlier dispenser designs, and a snap-in feature confirms when a capsule is correctly seated and secure before use. Dentists and dental assistants use this dispenser as part of their direct composite restoration workflow wherever Filtek materials are supplied in single dose capsules rather than traditional syringes, giving a consistent, controlled amount of material with each capsule used.
Practices that place a high volume of composite restorations using capsule delivered Filtek materials typically keep at least one dispenser per treatment room, since the dispenser is a reusable piece of equipment rather than a consumable replaced with each patient.
