Packaging: (Typically sold in multi-pack; check packaging details)
Specification: 0.30 mm thin stainless steel mesh (grid strengthener)
Item # 20848-MD
Description:
High-quality stainless steel reinforcement mesh designed for use in acrylic denture fabrication. This fine 0.30 mm grid provides added strength and fracture resistance to complete and partial dentures while maintaining a low profile for patient comfort.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Durable Stainless Steel Construction: Corrosion-resistant, biocompatible, and stable over time.
-
Thin Profile (0.30 mm): Maintains the natural contour of dentures without adding unnecessary bulk.
-
Mesh Design: Allows acrylic to flow through openings for superior adhesion and mechanical interlock.
-
Enhanced Strength: Reinforces high-stress areas to prevent cracking and breakage.
-
Customizable: Easily cut and shaped to fit various denture designs.
Applications:
-
Reinforcement for complete or partial acrylic dentures.
-
Ideal for high-stress or fracture-prone areas, such as the mid-palatal region or long-span prostheses.
-
Compatible with standard acrylic processing workflows.
Usage Tips:
-
Ensure mesh is fully embedded within the acrylic to avoid sharp edges or irritation.
-
Adapt and cut carefully using fine shears to prevent deformation.
-
Place the mesh horizontally in stress zones for optimal reinforcement.
-
Clean and degrease before embedding for best resin bonding.
Material: Stainless steel alloy (commonly 304 or 316 grade).
Thickness: ~0.30 mm.
Finish: Plain stainless steel, uncoated.
This stainless steel grid provides a reliable, easy-to-use reinforcement option to increase denture longevity and patient satisfaction.
