|
| |
Bosworth’s Pressure Pot is a hydraulic water press used in creating bubble-free relines, repairs, splints, temporaries, and orthodontic appliances. The Pressure Pot is lightweight, easily transportable, does not require electricity, heat, or air pressure, and virtually guarantees a dense, super-smooth, pore-free surface on any self-curing acrylic with just 20psi. Creating a temporary with Pressure Pot increases strength by reducing voids and porosity. |
