Garrison XR Slick Bands Molar Matrices, 5.4mm, Small, Purple is used for sectional matrix procedures during posterior Class II composite restorations where controlled adaptation around bicuspids and small molars is required. The XR design combines a dead-soft stainless-steel matrix with a micro-thin PTFE non-stick coating that helps reduce bonding-agent and composite adhesion during removal, and its wider subgingival extension supports preparations that require greater cervical reach compared to standard Slick Bands sizes. Each pack contains 100 bands, measuring 5.4mm in height, 1.74mm in profile-view width, 14.22mm in length, and 0.0016 inch in overall thickness.

Purple color coding identifies this small-molar size quickly during setup. Dental offices ordering matrix bands from their supplier can buy this XR configuration when a case needs the extended cervical coverage this design offers over a standard small-molar band. During placement, the clinician positions the band around the prepared proximal surface and stabilizes it with the selected wedge and separation-ring technique. The dead-soft stainless steel supports controlled adaptation to proximal anatomy, while the non-stick coating helps limit unwanted adhesion to restorative materials during removal.

Grab-Tabs built into the band provide a dedicated handling point for positioning and retrieval, reducing the need to grasp the matrix surface directly, and the wider subgingival extension provides additional coverage for preparations extending farther cervically, while the thin band profile supports development of a defined proximal contour and contact after restorative material placement.
