Garrison Slick Bands Molar Matrices, 5.5mm, Small, Purple is used for sectional matrix procedures during posterior Class II composite restorations where adaptation around smaller molars and controlled proximal contour are required. The purple small-molar matrix combines a dead-soft stainless-steel base with a micro-thin PTFE non-stick coating designed to reduce adhesion between restorative materials and the matrix surface, and its precontoured sectional form supports placement around proximal preparations while maintaining the thin profile needed for contact development. Each pack contains 100 bands, measuring 5.4mm in height, 1.6mm in profile-view width, 15.67mm in length, with an overall thickness of 0.0016 inch.

Dental offices ordering sectional matrix bands from their supplier can buy this small-molar purple size to distinguish it from other Slick Bands configurations, since color coding gives the clinical team a quick visual method for identifying the correct size during restorative setup. During use, the sectional matrix is positioned around the prepared proximal surface and stabilized as part of the clinician's chosen matrix, wedge, and separation-ring technique. The dead-soft stainless steel allows the band to adapt closely to tooth anatomy without the springiness associated with firmer matrix materials, while the PTFE coating creates a non-stick surface intended to limit bonding-agent and resin adhesion, which can help simplify band removal after polymerization. Because the coating remains micro-thin, the finished matrix retains the dimensional profile needed for controlled proximal contact formation, giving the small-molar shape an anatomy-specific option between smaller bicuspid matrices and larger molar bands.
