TOR-VM Saddle Metal Matrices 18pcs

The TOR-VM Saddle Metal Matrices Kit (18pcs) is a compact stainless steel matrix system from TOR-VM (Russia), giving Egyptian dentists a smaller, budget-friendly saddle-contoured matrix option for Class II restorations. Each kit ships complete with a small spring clip retainer (№ 1.003), so no separate matrix holder is required.

Clinical Uses

• Class II proximal (mesial/distal) restorations where a saddle-contoured matrix is preferred
• Establishing tight, anatomically correct interproximal contacts
• Compatible with both composite and amalgam restorative techniques
• General dental practices and teaching clinics needing a smaller starter kit

Key Features

• 18-piece kit: small № 1.311(1) — 6 pcs, medium № 1.312(1) — 6 pcs, large № 1.313(1) — 6 pcs
• Includes 1 small spring clip (№ 1.003) — self-retaining, no bulky retainer needed
• Made from stainless steel for durability and repeated autoclave sterilization
• Saddle (contoured) shape follows natural tooth anatomy for a snug proximal seal
• Available in two thicknesses: 0.035 mm and 0.050 mm (specify at order, ships as 0.050 mm by default)

Specifications

How to Use

1. Select the saddle matrix size that matches the prepared tooth surface
2. Position the matrix over the marginal ridge like a saddle, wrapping the proximal box
3. Secure it in place with the included spring clip — no separate retainer needed
4. Place and condense your restorative material (composite or amalgam), then remove the matrix once set

If you need the thinner 0.035 mm version, note this at checkout — kits ship as 0.050 mm by default.

FAQ

What thickness should I order?
Kits ship with 0.050 mm (standard) matrices by default. If you need the thinner 0.035 mm version, specify this in your order notes.

Do I need a separate matrix retainer for this system?
No — the kit includes a small spring clip that holds the saddle matrix in place, so a bulky retainer isn't required.

How does this differ from the 36-piece kit?
This 18-piece kit (№ 1.310 series) is a smaller, more affordable assortment of the same small/medium/large saddle contours; the 36-piece kit offers a larger quantity for busier practices.

Can the matrices be reused?
Yes — being stainless steel, they can be cleaned and autoclave-sterilized for repeated clinical use as long as they aren't deformed.
