Elastic traction Zoo 3/16" - 6 oz "ANTILOPE" - "IMPALA" (very strong), 100 pieces per pack.

Elastic rings, or elastics, are made from high-quality surgical latex. They vary in diameter and thickness, which determines their strength. Application: Elastics are used as force elements, primarily for intermaxillary elastic traction. Range and properties: Elastics are packaged in bags of 100 pieces. Each bag indicates the diameter and strength of the elastic ring. Elastics of different diameters and strengths have individual names based on the type of animal. This helps patients and doctors remember which specific elastics are used more easily. The strength level and diameter of the elastics are indicated on the bag. The stated force is developed when the elastic ring is stretched three times. Ormco elastics are among the most stable in terms of force loss over time. However, like all elastic products, they gradually lose their properties. To maintain the force effect at a more or less constant level, it is necessary to replace the elastics twice a day.
