The Distal Jet is an extremely effective appliance used to distalize upper molars. The unique design uses the force from Nitinol coil springs to exert distalizing forces to the molars. The amount of force is controlled by the clinician which reduces the tendency to tip the crown. The system therefore moves the crown and root more evenly. 1, record 4, English, - Distal%20Jet%20appliance

Ultrathane(R) Ring-Mclean Sump Drainage sets [are] used to drain abscesses. The sump catheter may be introduced either by a direct puncture utilizing the trocar needle or by the Seldinger technique. A second lumen allows air to pass to the distal tip of the catheter resulting in free flow of the fluid and reduction of negative pressure. A syringe can be attached to the side-arm fitting to flush the second lumen. 1, record 5, English, - sump%20drain
