3. Product Description
3.1 Functional description
The Stratos 200 is an adjustable articulator built according to the
Camper’s plane (CP). It is fully coordinated with the Ivoclar
Vivadent Biofunctional Prosthetic System (BPS). Consequently, the
articulator facilitates the easy and effective application of a
prosthetic system that has been successful for many years.
Given the exchangeable protrusion and Bennett joint inserts, the
Stratos 200 is adaptable to future developments.
Additionally, users can choose to work with either a fixed or
swivel axis.
Furthermore, a retrusion movement of 35° as well as an
‘immediate side shift’ are integrated in the Stratos 200.
A newly developed activable centric locking system permits the
articulator to be set to precise, reproducible initial set positions
and faciliates separation and setting of the upper and lower
frames. Even when the centric lock is open, the upper and lower
frames are still connected. Only after removing the centric rubber
bands from their retainers can the two parts be separated.
The locating holes for transferbows, automatic centric return and
a non-slip base are all standard eqiupment. In addition, the
Stratos 200 features a dirt-and-wear-resistant finish.
A wide range of accessories permit the Stratos 200 to meet the
specific needs and requirements of every user.
