3M Inventory Dispensing System Back-Up Storage Units

This back-up storage unit is an accessory to the 3M APC Inventory Dispensing System, giving orthodontic practices extra capacity to hold reserve stock of APC 5-pack adhesive boxes once the main dispensing drawers are full. It is rated to accommodate up to fifty cases of either upper or lower APC 5-pack boxes, which lets a busy practice keep enough adhesive on hand to cover several weeks of bonding appointments without running out mid-schedule.

Storage units of this kind are used behind the scenes rather than chairside, typically kept in a supply room or under the dispensing cart so staff can restock the active drawers as they run low without waiting on a fresh delivery. Because APC adhesive is a core consumable for pre-coated bracket bonding, having a dedicated back-up storage system helps larger clinics or multi-chair practices manage inventory more predictably and avoid last-minute reordering.

This unit is sold as part of the broader Inventory Dispensing System product family alongside drawers, organizer trays and dust covers, and practices already using the APC dispensing setup typically add back-up storage as their bonding volume grows.
