Vera Solder is a dental soldering alloy composed of other noble metals, designed for joining nickel-based casting alloys. It is formulated for high-fusing applications, ensuring strong and durable connections in dental frameworks and copings. The alloy’s boron enhancement improves fluidity, facilitating precise soldering and optimal performance in restorative procedures.
This solder is supplied as a pre-solder material for use in dental laboratories and clinical settings, intended for repair and construction of nickel-based dental frameworks. It is applied via torch or laser welding and is compatible with both PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) and non-PFM applications. The product is classified as a Class II medical device under FDA regulations and is authorized via a 510(k) clearance (K972533). Sterility and single-use or reusable status are not specified in the provided data.
