3M Forsus Split Crimps for Push Rod Reactivation
A small crimp used to reactivate the Forsus spring module during orthodontic treatment, adding measured activation to the push rod as needed.
3M Forsus Split Crimps are a maintenance auxiliary for the Forsus fixed functional appliance system, used by orthodontists to keep the spring module delivering effective force as treatment progresses. 5 millimetres of activation, restoring the corrective force the spring module applies to the bite. If a patient needs further reactivation at a later visit, the recommendation is to move to the next size push rod rather than stacking additional crimps indefinitely.
This makes split crimps a routine, low-cost consumable that orthodontic practices keep on hand for ongoing Forsus patients rather than a standalone appliance. They fall under the Hooks and Stops category of orthodontic auxiliaries and are supplied without an accompanying spring module or push rod in this listing.
