MORE CONSISTENT CONTACTS
A STRONGER AND MORE STABLE RING
EASIER HANDLING
OFFERS HIGH STRENGTH AND DURABILITY
This V-Ring is made entirely from NiTi (nickel titanium), which soft and resilient properties ensure an exceptional tensile strength and memory retention (elasticity threshold is 5% for steel against 40% for NiTi).Steel can also expand over time while reducing the ring's strength to separate teeth. In addition, NiTi is also more heat-resistant than steel under sterilization process cycles, thus conferring more durability on the V-3 Ring.

Spring made from stainless steel and Nickel Titanium. |
V3's spring is made entirely from Nickel Titanium.The spring strength has substantially been increased and the range of action is impressive. |
NiTi has superior memory retention meaning V3 will return to its original shape, consistently deliver optimal separating force and will not expand over time like stainless steel can. |
|
V-shaped tines |
V3's v-shaped tines are made from glass-fiber reinforced plastic. |
V3's plastic tines are shaped to suit the buccal and lingual surfaces of posterior teeth, thus providing superior adaptation and the ability to restore a tooth even when a cusp is missing |
|
Stackable for mutliple restorations |
Spring angle is steeper relative to occlusal plane |
Stacking is now easier as there is more room to undertake multiple restorations simultaneously. |
|
|
Special groove for rubber-dam forceps. |
V3 is very versatile - it can be used with rubber dam forceps meaning you do not have to buy new instruments. |
|
|
V3 is stable in forceps, both mesially and distally. |
V3 is easy to handle; is less likely to be dropped or to jump off the forceps. |
|
|
Stronger spring |
Our studies have shown V3 is the strongest sectional matrix retainer ring on the market. You will always achieve excellent separation with V3. |
|
|
New Narrow V3 Ring available which features closely set tines. |
Narrow V3 ensures ideal separating force on smaller and difficult to separate teeth. |
AS EASY AS CHILDS PLAY
Squeeze the wings a little to increase the curvature of the V3 matrix as this provides more room for the V3-Ring tines later. |
Introduce the V3-Matrix into the embrasure, ensuring that the matrix is in the gingival crevice adjacent to the tooth you are restoring. |
