Two-component dental material applicator, pneumatic
Definition
A non-sterile, pneumatic device intended to dispense a two-component dental material (e.g., impression material) from a cartridge directly into the mouth or into another device (e.g., impression tray). It typically has an air regulator portion connected to a handpiece with a cartridge plunging mechanism; typically a dental material mixing nozzle is attached to the distal tip of the cartridge during use. This is a reusable device after appropriate cleaning.
