Product Details
The Surcam Straight Ball Attachment – 6 Offset Positions solves a common overdenture challenge: non-parallel implants that complicate pickup and long-term insert wear. The hex-indexed design lets you rotate the abutment into six fixed positions (≈60° increments), improving path-of-insertion alignment and housing parallelism. A Prime PVD–coated collar supports cleansable margins and soft-tissue health, while GH 1–6 mm options adapt to varying sulcus depths. Precision-machined Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) ensures accurate seating on Internal Hex 2.42 mm platforms used by leading systems.
Indications: overdentures / removable prostheses; retention and function are case-dependent per IFU.
The main problem & solution
Problem: Non-parallel implants and limited inter-arch space make overdenture pickup difficult, causing poor path of insertion, premature insert wear, and more chairside adjustments.
Solution: A hex-indexed ball with 6 offset positions lets you rotate the attachment to align housings and optimize insertion/removal, improving retention consistency and maintenance intervals.
FAQs
What does “6 offset positions” mean?
It’s a hex-indexed design that allows six fixed rotational positions (≈60° increments) so you can align the ball head with the intended path of insertion across multiple implants.
How do I choose the gingival height (GH)?
Match GH to measured soft-tissue thickness and the planned margin. Typical guide: 1–2 mm (thin), 3–4 mm (average), 5–6 mm (thick). Validate cleansability in the provisional.
Are the housing and insert included?
Yes—this pack includes 1× metal housing (BHM-5032) and 1× silicone insert (BIS-0025). Additional inserts (varying retention) are typically available separately.
Is immediate function possible?
Case-dependent. Proceed only when stability/ISQ and occlusion meet the IFU. Reassess retention after initial healing and adjust insert strength as needed.
Which systems is it compatible with?
Designed for Internal Hex 2.42 mm platforms used by major brands listed above. Always verify platform code and indexing before use.
