3M Forsus Direct Push Rod, Six Lengths, Left or Right
A push rod that attaches directly onto the archwire without extra auxiliaries, available in six lengths and oriented to the patient's right or left side.
The Forsus Direct Push Rod is the component of the Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device that transmits force between the upper and lower archwires, and its direct attachment design connects straight onto the archwire itself rather than requiring a separate auxiliary component to link the rod to the wire.
Eliminating the need for auxiliaries simplifies chairside installation, reducing the number of parts the clinician has to manage and fit correctly when placing the corrector, which can shorten the fitting appointment and lower the chance of an installation error. The push rod is available in six different lengths, giving the clinician the ability to match the rod to the specific bite relationship and jaw discrepancy being corrected in each individual patient rather than relying on a single generic length.
Rods are also oriented specifically to the patient's right and left sides, reflecting that the corrector is fitted on both sides of the arch and each side needs a rod shaped to sit correctly in that position. This wide range of catalog numbers in the listing reflects the combination of six lengths across both orientations, and practices running Forsus correctors keep a spread of lengths in stock to fit whichever patient case comes through the door.
