Foredom Mounted Brush-Steel Wire 22 Mm Dia. 2.35mm

Description:

Mounted brush-Steel wire 22 mm dia. 2.35mm is an essential abrasive tool used in dental laboratories for aggressive cleaning and preparatory finishing of metal-based restorations and appliances. Constructed with high-strength steel wire bristles, this brush is specifically engineered for tough tasks such as removing heavy investment residues, thick oxide layers, solder discoloration, and stubborn contamination from alloys commonly used in prosthodontics, including cobalt-chromium and stainless steel. With a 22 mm diameter, the brush offers wider surface contact than smaller versions, improving efficiency when working on larger prosthetic frameworks such as partial denture bases, major connectors, and structural elements requiring extensive cleaning. Its sturdy bristle configuration allows for controlled but forceful abrasion, enabling technicians to refine surfaces before proceeding to finer rubber abrasives or pumice polishing. The brush�s 2.35 mm shank fits all standard straight and low-speed laboratory handpieces, ensuring smooth and stable rotation during use. The steel bristles deliver uniform abrasion, making them ideal for preparing metal surfaces for bonding procedures�such as acrylic attachment or porcelain layering�where a clean, micro-textured surface is essential for optimal adhesion. Steel wire�s inherent rigidity makes this tool particularly effective during the early stages of metal finishing, allowing rapid removal of excess material without compromising structural integrity. Although aggressive, the brush can be used precisely when operated at appropriate speed settings. Its durability ensures long-term performance, even after repeated sterilization cycles. Overall, this steel-wire brush is indispensable for dental technicians working with metal frameworks, providing fast, reliable, and efficient abrasive action during critical fabrication steps.
