BIOMET 3i has now launched its new 3i T3 Short Implant in Europe. The new 3i T3 Short Implant is available in 5 and 6 mm lengths and 5 and 6 mm diameters. The new implant provides the following futures and benefits:
-
The reduced length makes it an option for areas of minimal bone height without the need for vertical grafting procedures
-
The blasted and acid-etched 3i T3 surface creates an average mean surface roughness of 1.4 μm along the full length of the implant1
-
The dimensions of the surgical instrumentation and the 3i T3 Short Implant provide a tight implant-to-osteotomy fit, to assist with primary stability2
-
Manual platform switching is recommended for crestal bone preservation.3
In addition, BIOMET 3i is offering a new 3i T3 Short Implant compact surgical kit designed specifically to support site preparation and placement of 3i T3 Short Implants.
