Description:

The IMP 8559 Locator Replacement Male Purple inserts are low-retention overdenture components designed to provide approximately 1.5 lbs of retention force. Packaged in a 4-pack for clinical convenience, these nylon inserts are ideal for patients requiring reduced seating and removal effort—such as elderly individuals, those with limited dexterity, or cases involving multiple implants and parallel alignment.
Each insert is color-coded for quick identification and fits securely into standard Locator metal housings. Once seated, the male component engages the Locator abutment with light retention and self-aligning functionality. This design simplifies prosthesis insertion, enhances patient comfort, and minimizes soft tissue irritation in sensitive zones.
The inserts accommodate a limited range of angulation and are engineered to resist deformation during repeated cycles of insertion and removal. When retention diminishes over time, they can be replaced chairside—reducing downtime and eliminating the need for new prostheses.
The 8559 Purple inserts maintain full compatibility with genuine Locator abutments across implant systems, ensuring reliable fit and restorative flexibility. Their predictable retention profile supports prosthesis stability while allowing for daily ease of use.
Whether incorporated during initial prosthesis delivery or used for periodic maintenance, these inserts offer an efficient and patient-friendly solution for managing low-retention cases.
