Ribbond
Placement Instrument 
The
Ribbond placement is designed for placing Ribbond in composite
restorations and for endodontic posts and cores. It is a modified
double ended gutta percha condensing instrument with V-shaped
grooves cut in each end. These forked V- shaped ends engage
the Ribbond fibers and prevent the tips from poking through
the Ribbond weave. The tips are 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm wide. Please
note that this instrument is not generally used for making periodontal
splints or making bridges.
Ribbond Scissors
Ribbond fibers are woven from the same ultra-high strength polyethylene fibers used to make bullet proof vests and light-weight armor plating for military aircraft. The fibers are so tough that most scissors will not cut them cleanly. The Ribbond Scissors are specially designed to cut these fibers without leaving stray uncut fibers. The hardened stainless steel blades are autoclaveable.
