Overdenture Attachments

Locator® Bar Attachment System

The Locator Bar Attachment System offers three options for the fabrication of a resilient attachment on an implant-retained cast alloy bar or milled titanium bar. Now all of the benefits of the Locator attachments are available for use when added stability on a bar is desired. All of the Locator attachment parts are universal, therefore your existing denture components and tools on hand can be utilized for the new Locator Bar Females.

Option 1: When simplicity and flexibility are desired, the Drill & Tap option can be used. You simply drill, tap, and thread the new Locator Bar Female into your implant-retained bar. If at any time you need to revise or repair the bar, the clinician can simply remove the abutments and change the females. This eliminates the need for a laboratory procedure to make the necessary revisions on the bar.

Option 2: The Locator Laser Bar Female can be laser welded to a cast alloy bar. Use the Locator Paralleling Mandrel in a surveyor to position the Laser Bar Female and simply weld it into place.

Option 3: The third option allows you to cast the attachment to the cast alloy bar. The newly designed Locator Cast-To Bar Female is positioned by using the Locator Paralleling Mandrel in a surveyor and then waxing the attachment into the bar. The precision machined finish of the attachment is maintained by casting the gold alloy to the Locator Cast-To Bar Female.

Option 1: LOCBF2 Locator Bar Female (2 mm Thread)(2Pk)
Option 2: LOCLBF Locator Laser Bar Female (Stainless Steel) (2Pk)
Option 3: LOCCTB Locator Cast-To Bar Female (2Pk)
