Clinician's Choice® DualForce™ Punch Pliers securely grip the matrix tab for ease of placement. Once the restoration is complete, the Punch Pliers can be applied anywhere you desire to punch a hole in the band for ease of removal. Other benefits include:

  • Punch Pliers facilitate easy placement and removal of Ultra-Wrap Matrix Bands
  • Sharp point perforates metal or plastic Matrix Bands to assist in removing
  • When tips are closed, can be used to burnish Matrix Bands if necessary

Included in a Complete Kit of the DualForce Sectional Matrix System.

  3. The Active-Wedge tip collapses during insertion for easy placement, then re-expands when fully seated, regaining full contour for an improved matrix band seal.

  4. Once seated, the DualForce Sectional Matrix System provides a complete gingival seal with a tight vertical seal of the matrix band along with a strong and stable separation force, resulting in less chance of composite flash.
