Replacement Plastic Inserts for Bracket & Band Removal Pliers - PU: 10 pcs | Helmut Zepf No. 33.770.22
These Replacement Plastic Inserts from Helmut Zepf (packaging unit: 10 pieces) are the consumable tooth-side pads for the ZEPF bracket and band removal pliers with plastic insert. The compliant insert rests against the occlusal surface during debonding and band removal, letting the steel jaw apply controlled shear force to the appliance while the enamel is protected from direct metal contact.
Backed by our Helmut Zepf Warranty — this instrument is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for 1 year. Full terms and how to make a claim are on the Warranty page.
