The all new Strata-G™ sectional matrix system from Garrison

Products

Introducing the all new Strata-G™ sectional matrix system from Garrison.

Strata-G™ forms a 270° Seal™ for ultimate flash control.

Strong tooth separation yet easier to open! Nitinol drawn-wire nickel titanium is aligned at the molecular level for superior performance yet requires less effort to open. Garrison's proprietary StrataSet™ treatment maximizes longevity of this advanced material.

More uses! The PEEK ultra-durable reinforcement on the back of the ring allows Strata-G™ to retain a higher percentage of initial strength for much longer than non-reinforced rings. Proprietary StrataBond™ silicone/PEEK tips withstand hundreds of applications.

Improved anatomy--unbeatable grip. Enhanced marginal ridge guides and supports matrix bands. StrataBond™ silicone for unsurpassed flash control. Ultra-Grip™ retention extensions provide tenacious grip and are gentler to the papilla.

Wider indications--wider smiles! Dentistry's premier Wide Preparation separator ring (green) makes Strata-G™ the most versatile and user-friendly system available. Tackle the most challenging posterior restorations with confidence knowing that you will achieve excellent contact and contour.

Stack them up. The smooth tunnel design easily accommodates stacking of wedges. This feature is extremely helpful in cases of gingival recession or when simultaneous wedging from the buccal and lingual is desired.

No back-out. Soft retentive fins smoothly fold down during wedge insertion and spring back when clear of the interproximal space, locking Strata-G™ Wedges in place.

A better seal by design. The inverted V shape sits lower and seals deeper interproximally while side walls and Soft-Face™ TPE over-mold allow Strata-G™ Wedges to easily adapt to concavities and irregularities.

Optimized marginal ridge. Strata-G™ Bands provide shape and guidance for developing the marginal ridge of Class II restorations without blocking your access.

ProfileBooster™ subgingival apron. Achieving a natural emergence profile in challenging cervical areas is easy with Strata-G™ Bands--it's built right in!

Firm Bands for challenging cases. A critical addition in the Strata-G™ kit, Firm Bands are specially tempered stainless steel and only 0.0015" thin. Their stiffer nature makes them ideal for unbroken contacts and extra deep or extra wide preparations.

	Strata-G™	Composi-Tight® 3D Fusion™	Competitor

Spring material	Nitinol drawn-wire—molecularly aligned nickel titanium is strong and resilient; rings are easier to open yet hold their tension longer	Stainless spring steel—strong and durable, high clamping force and can be more difficult to open	Laser cut/sintered plate nickel titanium—strong but brittle; rings will stretch out and can fail
Reinforcement	Ultra-durable PEEK—increases tooth separating pressure and longevity	Ultra-durable PEEK—increases tooth separating pressure and longevity	Not available
Flash control	Enhanced bonded silicone Soft-Face™—maximum flash reduction with maximum lifespan	Original silicone tips—dramatically improved adaptation and flash reduction compared to hard tips	Flat hard tips—poor matrix band adaptation and no flash control
Tooth retention (stays on the tooth)	Modified retention extensions for maximum tooth grip with less impingement on the gingiva	Retention extensions added to all rings for excellent tooth grip	Flat tips with no retention geometry; easily displaced
Marginal ridge assist	Built directly into the Soft-Face™ silicone tips to help you form ideal anatomy	Not available	Not available
