3M Unitek Light Sensitive Wells for Primers and Liquids
Light sensitive mixing wells for use with orthodontic primers and liquids, helping protect light sensitive materials during chairside dispensing.
The Light Sensitive Wells are small dispensing wells used in orthodontic and dental practices to hold primers and other liquids that are sensitive to light exposure. The description notes these wells are for use with primers and liquids, providing a practical container for dispensing a small measured amount of product at the chairside without exposing it to more light than necessary.
Certain bonding primers and adhesive components can begin to set or degrade prematurely if left exposed to ambient or dental operatory light for too long, so a well designed with this in mind helps preserve the material's usable working time once it has been dispensed from its original container. Assistants and clinicians use wells like this during bonding and bracket placement procedures, dispensing just enough primer or liquid for the immediate step rather than opening and closing the main product container repeatedly.
This is a small, disposable or single use accessory used routinely wherever light sensitive liquids are part of the clinical workflow, and orthodontic practices keep a supply in stock as part of standard bonding consumables.
