HAHNENKRATT – Matrix Retainer Ivory #1

Targeted Unilateral Stabilization: Unlike universal retainers that encircle the entire tooth, the Ivory #1 is specifically designed for cases where only one proximal wall is missing. The claw-like ends grip the tooth securely, allowing the matrix to be tensioned precisely against the cavity margin without unnecessary bulk on the unaffected side of the tooth.

Optimal Clinical Visibility: The streamlined, low-profile design of the Ivory #1 significantly reduces the "clutter" within the oral cavity. This provides the clinician with an unobstructed line of sight, which is critical for ensuring the marginal integrity of the restoration during material placement.

Premium German Stainless Steel: Manufactured from high-grade, corrosion-resistant Inox steel. The mechanical components—particularly the tensioning screw—are machined to tight tolerances, ensuring smooth, incremental adjustment that won't slip or strip under clinical load.

Superior Patient Comfort: Its compact size and lateral placement make it far more comfortable for patients with limited opening or a strong gag reflex. It occupies minimal buccal and lingual vestibule space compared to a standard Tofflemire system.

Reliable Grip & Longevity: The gripping arms are tempered for the perfect balance of rigidity and slight flexibility, ensuring they "snap" onto the tooth structure without sliding, even on tapered or partially erupted teeth. The high-quality finish stands up to repeated thermal disinfection and autoclave cycles.

Material: Medical Grade Stainless Steel (Inox).
