Clinician's Choice® DualForce™ Ring Forceps are engineered for use with DualForce Rings and a part of the DualForce Sectional Matrix System that is designed for use with all Class II composite restorations. The DualForce System consists of clinically and technologically advanced Rings, Active-Wedges, and Ultra-Wrap™ Matrix Bands. Features and benefits of the Ring Forceps include:

  • Prevents overextension and Ring fatigue during placement.
  • Properly angled engagement tips that match DualForce Rings for easy placement.
  • Thick gauge steel for added stability.
  • Fits virtually all hand sizes.

  2. Ultra-Wrap matrix band in place extending well beyond the proximal line angles. Ultra-Wrap is made from .0015" semi-hard stainless steel making it more resistant to crimping during placement.

  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.

  8. Once the restoration is fully cured, DualForce Punch Pliers may be used anywhere along the matrix band to perforate it for a secure grip and easy removal. Lack of flash and overhangs greatly reduce finishing time.
