Bionex Amalgam Carrier, Stainless Steel
A stainless steel amalgam carrier used by dental professionals to transport and place small measured portions of amalgam into a prepared cavity, useful across a range of everyday procedures.
The Amalgam Carrier is a restorative hand instrument used to transport freshly mixed amalgam from the mixing capsule to the prepared cavity, delivering it in small, measured portions that can then be condensed into place. Its hinged, double ended design typically offers two barrel sizes, letting the operator choose a larger or smaller portion depending on the size of the cavity being filled.
Loading and dispensing the material with a carrier reduces handling time and helps keep the amalgam workable during placement, which matters given how quickly amalgam begins to set. Made from stainless steel, the carrier is built to be disassembled for thorough cleaning and is suited to routine autoclave sterilization between patients.
It is a standard instrument on the restorative tray in general dental practice, used by dentists and dental assistants at the start of the amalgam filling sequence, before condensing, carving and burnishing.
