Ground-Breaking Soft Cutter from KOMET USA

KOMET USA’s revolutionary new Soft Cutter (SC1) protects metal surfaces during fine acrylic adjustments in critical areas. The Soft Cutter is suitable for highly detailed acrylic work, including the removal of excess marginal material from orthodontic appliances and detailed trimming around wire elements. In addition, the Soft Cutter is ideal for precision work on temporary clasp dentures as well as in transitional areas between metal and acrylics. While standard burs can damage brackets, connectors, orthodontic wires, springs, and other metallic retention elements, the extra-gentle Soft Cutter is engineered from a high-tech material that is softer than metal.

The Soft Cutter’s design addresses an age-old dilemma: For any case in which acrylics are combined with metal elements, it is standard procedure to process the hard metal first. Oftentimes, these polished metal surfaces are roughened, damaged, or even destroyed due to inadvertent contact with burs during acrylic processing. Furthermore, the resultant reworking of the damaged metal brackets and springs weakens their structure and generates heat, which in turn can quickly damage the acrylics.

The solution? The extra-gentle Soft Cutter. This uniquely designed instrument prevents damage to metal parts while avoiding heat-related acrylic damage.
