3M Unitek Gurin Wrench for Lock Nut Tightening
A hand tool designed specifically for tightening the hexagon head lock nuts used across the Gurin orthodontic auxiliary system.
The 3M Unitek Gurin Wrench is a small hand instrument made to fit and tighten the hexagon head lock nuts found on Gurin orthodontic auxiliaries, including Gurin locks and extraoral traction hardware. Orthodontists and their assistants use it chairside whenever a Gurin nut needs to be secured or adjusted, since a wrench matched to the specific hex profile gives a more reliable, controlled tightening than a general purpose tool.
Keeping a dedicated wrench on hand reduces the risk of rounding off the small nuts used throughout this auxiliary system, which would otherwise make later adjustments difficult. As a reusable hand tool rather than a disposable consumable, it is typically purchased once per practice or per orthodontic kit and kept alongside the rest of the Gurin auxiliary hardware.
No material or dimensional specification is stated for this listing beyond its intended use with Gurin hexagon head lock nuts.
