Description
Key Features:
Two-Flask Capacity: The primary feature of this press is its ability to hold and compress two dental flasks simultaneously. This increases efficiency in the lab, allowing technicians to work on multiple prosthetics at once.
Durable Construction: The press is typically made from sturdy, rust-proof materials like bronze. It is built to withstand the high-pressure demands of the dental laboratory environment.
Functionality: The press compress is a non-hydraulic mechanical device used to compress the denture material (often acrylic resin) within a dental flask. The compression process is crucial for ensuring a dense, void-free prosthetic. It typically comes with springs and a wooden lift handle.
Denture Accessory: It is classified as a denture accessory, specifically within the "Flasks & Presses" category, as it is used in conjunction with dental flasks.
Uses:
The Henry Schein Press Compress for 2 Flasks is used in dental laboratories for a specific stage of denture fabrication:
Denture Processing: Its main use is to compress the uncured acrylic resin into the mold within the dental flasks. This compression is performed after the wax-up has been removed and the flask is packed with the acrylic.
Acrylic Resin Packing: The press applies the necessary pressure to the flasks, ensuring that the resin fills all the intricate details of the mold and eliminates excess material before the final curing process.
