Elastomer Standard Spatula Refill for Hand Mixing
A standard size replacement spatula used for hand mixing dental materials that require manual blending, supplied as a single spatula refill. It is a standard item in dental and medical practice.
This is a standard size spatula refill used for hand mixing dental materials that are not dispensed through an automatic mixing system. The spatula gives the clinician or assistant a stable, flat blade for combining the base and catalyst of a material, such as certain cements or impression pastes, on a mixing pad until an even, workable consistency is reached.
Getting a thorough, even mix by hand depends partly on having a properly shaped and sized spatula for the material and volume being worked with, and this standard size option covers the majority of routine hand mixing tasks in a general dental practice. Supplying the spatula as a refill allows the practice to replace a worn or lost spatula without needing a full new kit of instruments.
Dentists and dental assistants use this spatula whenever a hand mixed material calls for manual blending as part of a restorative, preparatory or impression procedure.
