The GDC Rubber Dam Frame Plastic (Rdaf6p) is a crucial dental instrument designed to secure a rubber dam sheet in a stretched state, enhancing access to the operative field during dental procedures. Crafted from durable plastic, this frame features a thick U-shaped rod with small hook-like retainers strategically attached along its length. The design facilitates the effective stretching and secure retention of rubber dams, providing a stable and isolated working area for dental practitioners.

Features

• Durable Plastic Construction: Crafted from durable plastic, providing a sturdy yet lightweight frame for effective use in various dental applications.
• U-Shaped Rod Design: The thick U-shaped rod design facilitates the stretching and retention of rubber dam sheets, creating a stable and isolated working area.
• Hook-Like Retainers: Small hook-like retainers attached at intervals along the rod allow for secure attachment of rubber dams, ensuring proper tension and coverage.
• Versatility: Suitable for use in a variety of dental procedures where rubber dam isolation is required, offering versatility in different clinical scenarios.
• Compatibility with Sterilization Protocols: Designed to be compatible with standard dental instrument sterilization protocols, ensuring a sterile working environment.
• Enhanced Visibility and Access: The frame aids in creating a stretched state for the rubber dam, improving visibility and access to the operative field during dental procedures.
• Practical Design: The practical design of the Rubber Dam Frame Plastic allows for easy handling and adjustment, contributing to efficient and controlled isolation.

Direction to Use

• Preparation: Ensure that the dental operatory is set up with all necessary materials and equipment for the specific procedure requiring a rubber dam.
• Sterilization: Before use, sterilize the Rubber Dam Frame Plastic following standard dental instrument sterilization protocols to maintain a sterile working environment.
• Patient Preparation: Have the patient comfortably seated, and if necessary, administer local anaesthesia for enhanced comfort during the procedure.
• Selection of Rubber Dam: Choose the appropriate size and type of rubber dam based on the treatment plan and the tooth or teeth requiring isolation.
• Positioning of Frame: Place the Rubber Dam Frame Plastic around the tooth or teeth to be treated, positioning it appropriately for optimal stretching and coverage.
• Attachment of Rubber Dam: Attach the rubber dam to the frame by securing it onto the small hook-like retainers along the length of the U-shaped rod. Ensure a secure and taut attachment.
• Adjustment: Make any necessary adjustments to the positioning and tension of the rubber dam to achieve optimal visibility and access to the operative field.
• Securing the Frame: If needed, use clamps or other stabilizing devices to secure the frame in place, ensuring it remains stable throughout the procedure.
• Proceed with Treatment: With the rubber dam securely attached to the frame, proceed with the planned dental procedure, benefitting from the enhanced access and isolation.
• Removal and Disposal: After completing the procedure, carefully remove the rubber dam from the frame and dispose of it appropriately. Thoroughly clean and sterilize the Rubber Dam Frame Plastic for future use.
