Description:

The IMP 08540-2-V LOC EXT Range Male Process 2/PK is a unique prosthetic component crafted for compatibility with the well-regarded LOCATOR implant attachment system. Designed for overdenture use, this component delivers extended-range retention functionality, particularly beneficial for cases involving divergent or non-parallel implant placements. Each male insert is thoughtfully engineered to accommodate up to 20 degrees of divergence per implant, enabling a combined total of 40 degrees of correction when used with two implants. This versatility empowers clinicians to effectively address anatomical challenges while ensuring optimal prosthetic performance. Constructed from high-quality, wear-resistant nylon, the extended range males are recognized for their robustness and ability to sustain consistent retentive properties throughout their lifespan. Their tough design allows them to withstand numerous insertion and removal cycles without jeopardizing attachment security. These inserts are utilized during the processing or pickup phase of LOCATOR housings, whether chairside or in a laboratory setting, to establish the initial mechanical link between the denture base and the abutment system. The IMP 08540-2-V LOC EXT Range Male Process is conveniently color-coded for straightforward identification, enhancing the clinical workflow and ensuring that clinicians select the correct insert based on specific case retention requirements. These males are particularly advantageous in overdenture situations with implants positioned at angles that would typically necessitate custom abutments or more complex restorative solutions. By providing greater tolerance to angulation, they reduce the necessity for surgical corrections or compromises in prosthetic options. Packaged in sets of two, these inserts deliver convenience and efficiency for clinicians and dental technicians alike. They seamlessly integrate into the LOCATOR system’s workflow and contribute to a passive yet secure fit between the prosthesis and implant components. The deployment of these inserts enhances patient comfort, improves functionality, and promotes a more reliable long-term prosthetic outcome. In conclusion, the IMP 08540-2-V LOC EXT Range Male Process 2/PK offers an innovative solution for retaining overdentures on angled implants. Its dependable performance, adaptability, and compatibility make it an essential accessory for achieving successful implant-retained removable restorations.
