Direction to Use
Preparation and Hygiene:
- Start by preparing your work area and ensuring proper infection control and hygiene. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and a mask.
Open the Refill Kit:
- Carefully open the “Ivoclar OptraStick Refill 48” kit. Keep it in a clean, sterile environment to prevent contamination.
Select the Adhesive Tip:
- Choose the adhesive tip from the kit that is most suitable for the size and type of dental restoration or object you are handling.
Attach the Adhesive Tip:
- Securely attach the selected adhesive tip to the OptraStick instrument. Ensure it is firmly in place and will not detach during use.
Picking Up the Restoration:
- Gently touch the adhesive tip to the dental restoration. The adhesive properties will allow the restoration to adhere to the tip.
Precise Placement:
- Maneuver the OptraStick to accurately position the dental restoration in the desired location within the patient’s mouth. The precision of this tool is crucial for a successful procedure.
Securely Place the Restoration:
- Ensure the restoration is securely positioned. The adhesive tip minimizes the risk of dropping the restoration, but exercise care to avoid any mishaps.
Dispose or Sterilize:
- After using the adhesive tip, it can be disposed of as a single-use item, or it can be sterilized if it is designed for multiple uses. Follow proper sterilization and disposal protocols.
Repeat or Replace:
- If handling multiple restorations, repeat the process with the same or different adhesive tips. Replace the adhesive tip if it becomes compromised or if you need a different size or type for the next restoration.
