Plastic Sleeve For Multi Unit 1.6 Abutment

The primary function of the Plastic Sleeve for the Multi Unit 1.6 Abutment is to serve as a spacer and shaping aid during the fabrication of screw-retained prosthetics. Designed to fit securely over the 1.6 mm multi-unit abutment head, it helps define the emergence profile and provides a stable base for building the final restoration. The sleeve ensures a passive fit of the prosthesis and protects the abutment interface during the lab phase. It’s especially useful in full-arch or bridge restorations, where accurate adaptation and soft tissue support are critical for long-term success.

The sleeve is made from POM (polyoxymethylene), a robust engineering plastic known for its stability, wear resistance, and ease of manipulation. POM is ideal for prosthetic workflows because it can be easily adapted or trimmed during wax-up and trial stages without compromising structural form. Its rigid properties preserve the shape and dimensions needed for precise prosthesis fabrication, making it a reliable tool throughout the prosthetic process.

The sleeve is precisely engineered for the Multi Unit 1.6 Abutment’s internal hex or conical platform and includes a 1.6 mm screw platform for secure seating. With a height of 13 mm, it ensures consistent transfer of abutment position from the mouth to the lab model. Its standardized dimensions and friction fit prevent rotation or displacement during impression-taking, scanning, or framework seating, resulting in reduced adjustment time at delivery and improved reliability.

The GDT Implants Plastic Sleeve for Multi Unit 1.6 Abutment streamlines lab workflows by offering a fixed, standardized form that technicians can rely on during wax-ups, and framework design. Its 13 mm height and 1.6 mm screw channel provide a consistent prosthetic reference across fabrication processes. The sleeve’s stable geometry minimizes distortions during impression, reducing the risk of prosthetic misalignment. By maintaining repeatable positioning throughout each phase, the sleeve enhances communication between clinic and lab, lowers the need for adjustments, and supports efficient fabrication of accurate, well-seated restorations.
