Plaster Knife (160mm) CDT-C-886

Description

The Efficiency of Curve: Optimized for Mixing and Model Refinement

In the lab, the shape of your knife dictates the speed of your workflow. While straight knives are great for flat surfaces, the CDT-C-886 Plaster Knife features a specialized 160mm curved blade designed to match the geometry of mixing bowls and the contours of dental casts. It is the go-to tool for clinicians and technicians who want to eliminate material waste and achieve a smoother, more homogenous mix.

The Curved Advantage

The primary benefit of the CDT-C-886 is its ability to “hug” the walls of a flexible mixing bowl. This allows for a more effective folding motion when incorporating powder into liquid, ensuring you reach every pocket of dry material for a lump-free result. When it comes to model work, the subtle curve provides better “sweep” control, making it easier to shape the anatomy of a plaster base or remove flash from hard-to-reach undercuts.

The classic wooden handle remains the gold standard for lab work. Unlike plastic, wood absorbs a degree of moisture and provides a naturally high-friction surface that stays secure in your hand—even when covered in alginate or plaster slurry.

Omani Built: Lab-Grade Durability

Lab tools face constant exposure to water, stone, and cleaning agents. Original by Oman, the CDT-C-886 is forged from high-tempered stainless steel that maintains its flexibility without losing its structural memory. The blade is deeply seated and pinned into the wooden handle, ensuring it remains stable under the high torque required for thick stone mixes.

 Why the CDT-C-886 Belongs on Your Bench

• Contoured 160mm Blade: Specifically designed to scrape mixing bowls clean and navigate the curved surfaces of dental models.
• Traction-Rich Wood Grip: An ergonomic, wide-diameter handle that reduces “grip tension” and prevents hand cramping during heavy mixing.
• High-Flex Stainless Steel: Offers the perfect balance between rigidity for trimming and flexibility for material handling.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Forged to withstand the humid, high-residue environment of the plaster room.
• Quality: A rugged, dependable build designed for years of daily lab-side use.

• Country of Origin: Oman

 Primary Lab Applications

• High-Efficiency Mixing: Ideal for folding alginate, plaster, and investment materials without leaving dry spots.
• Bowl Scraping: Maximizing material use by cleanly removing every gram of mix from the bowl.
• Cast Shaping: Refining the lingual and buccal areas of a model where a straight blade cannot reach.
