3M Unitek Gurin Retraction Loop for Archwires
A preformed retraction loop from the Gurin auxiliary system that attaches to the archwire without needing a manually bent loop.
The 3M Unitek Gurin Retraction Loop is a preformed orthodontic component that saves the orthodontist from having to hand bend a retraction loop into the archwire itself. Retraction loops are used during space closure to help draw teeth back along the arch in a controlled way, and having a ready-made loop that clips or ties onto the wire speeds up chairside adjustments and gives a more consistent result than a hand-formed bend.
It is part of the wider Gurin range of orthodontic hooks and stops, which are designed to work together within a fixed appliance setup for anchorage and space management. As a small consumable auxiliary, it is ordered by orthodontic practices in quantity rather than fitted as a one-off appliance. No material, size or sterility information is stated for this listing beyond its function within the archwire system.
