CDT-D-469 Tofflemire Universal Matrix Retainer

Description

Predictable Contacts and Stable Anatomy for Class II Restorations

The secret to a successful Class II restoration isn’t just the material—it’s the matrix. The CDT-D-469 Tofflemire Universal Retainer is engineered for clinicians who demand a rock-solid foundation. It provides the mechanical tension required to secure matrix bands flush against the tooth, ensuring you achieve tight, anatomical contacts and a perfect marginal seal every time.

Engineered for Smooth Operation

In the middle of a procedure, the last thing you want is a sticking screw. The CDT-D-469 features a high-precision, smooth-glide screw mechanism that allows for micro-adjustments in band tension. Whether you are working on a small premolar or a wide molar, the locking nut engages securely without stripping, giving you the confidence to burnish your matrix without the band slipping.

The head of the retainer is meticulously finished to prevent sharp edges from irritating the gingiva, while the overall balance of the instrument allows for easy placement in both the maxillary and mandibular arches—even in those hard-to-reach posterior segments.

Omani Craftsmanship: The Durable Standard

A Tofflemire retainer is a mechanical workhorse that faces constant exposure to moisture and high-pressure sterilization. Original by Oman, the CDT-D-469 is forged from premium-grade surgical stainless steel. The internal threads are precision-cut to prevent the “loosening” that often occurs with cheaper alternatives, ensuring that the retainer maintains its factory-tight performance year after year.

 Why the CDT-D-469 Belongs in Your Restorative Kit

• Precision Threading: Delivers a smooth, “no-jam” adjustment for perfect matrix tension.
• Universal Matrix Support: Seamlessly holds standard, subgingival, or contoured bands for all Class II scenarios.
• Textured Control Nut: Deep knurling on the adjustment screw ensures a non-slip grip, even with wet gloves.
• High-Grade Metallurgy: Forged in Oman to resist corrosion and structural “play,” maintaining its alignment through thousands of cycles.
• Atraumatic Finish: Polished surfaces ensure patient comfort during prolonged placement.
  • Deep Margin Elevation: Stabilizing the band for difficult subgingival preparations.
