The trimming of splints (according to a deep-drawing technique or digital production) requires a certain finesse. You need the right tool for cutting the splint out of the thermoforming plate as well as for trimming the edges. Constant “clogging up” of the cutters is extremely annoying. Komet has put together the starter kit 4676A for work on splints. The set consists of seven instruments.
First of all, the vacuum form cutter is used to cut the thermoformed splint off the plaster model. The ceramic cutters included in the set are ideal for removing excess material and trimming the splint edges. The silicone-impregnated fiber fleece wheel is then used to quickly round off and smooth the splint edges. In the final step, the acrylic polisher gives the splint a glossy finish.
