Get a Grip on your Strip…

Centrix GripStrip™ diamond-coated finishing and polishing strips are like no other strip on the market. Our unique combination of features makes GripStrip stand out among the competition.

Every Centrix GripStrip™ Features Two Grit Sizes, Innovative Grip Tabs and is Autoclavable!

Because our strips contain two working areas of different grit sizes – a coarser grit for stripping and removing material, and a finer grit for polishing – you can finish and polish with only one tool. Use GripStrip to contour and bevel, or to remove excess material and over- hangs in filling surfaces and crown borders. Strong yet flexible, GripStrip reaches curved surfaces without breaking.

A “free middle zone,” which is uncoated and contains no grit, helps you get between spaces to your designated contact point on the restoration. Wide, perforated ends allow for a secure, ergonomic grip. And because it’s autoclavable, GripStrip saves you money.

GripStrip Features:

• Ideal for smoothing, contouring, finishing and trimming proximal, incisal and interproximal areas
• Diamond-coated stainless steel metal strips
• Finishing and polishing in one step with two, color-coded working areas with different grit sizes
• Unique “free middle zone” to easily reach contact point • Ergonomically designed handles help you pull through tight contact areas
• Our “Coarse” strips features a perforated design that provides flexibility, prevents chattering on the tooth surface and reduces friction for ease of sliding between teeth
• Autoclavable
• Available in boxes containing 12 diamond-coated strips

• Shaping and finishing of all existing aesthetic restorations
