3M Forsus Push Rod Measurement Guide, Multi-Patient
A measurement gauge used to select the correct Forsus push rod length for a given patient, available for re-order to support multiple-patient kits.
The Forsus Push Rod Measurement Guide is a gauge used chairside to determine which length of push rod should be fitted for a given patient's Forsus corrector, taking the guesswork out of selecting from the range of push rod lengths the system offers. Because the Forsus push rod connects between the upper and lower archwires and needs to be sized correctly to deliver appropriate force without being too long or too short for the individual patient's bite relationship, a dedicated measurement step supports a better initial fit and reduces the chance of needing to swap the push rod after installation.
This guide is specifically noted as being available for re-order for multiple-patient kits, meaning practices running the multi-patient version of the Forsus kit, where components are used across several patients rather than dedicated to just one, can order replacement measurement guides as needed to keep that shared kit fully equipped.
Measuring accurately before selecting a push rod length saves chair time during the Forsus fitting appointment and helps ensure the corrector is set up correctly from the start of treatment. Practices offering Forsus correctors as part of their Class II treatment protocol keep a measurement guide on hand as a standard chairside tool.
