Variable Torque Driver Indications
Variable Torque Driver (VTD)
Indications for Use & Safety Precautions
Indications for Use
The Variable Torque Driver (VTD) is a precision dental instrument designed for use in surgical and restorative implant dentistry. It is intended to:
-
Apply controlled torque to dental implant components such as:
-
Implant screws
-
Abutments
-
Healing caps
-
Cover screws
-
Multi-unit abutments
-
-
Allow clinicians to adjust torque values as needed for different manufacturers and component types.
-
Be used in both surgical and chairside environments by qualified dental professionals.
This device is intended for professional use only by dentists, oral surgeons, or qualified dental practitioners who are trained in implant procedures.
Contraindications
Do not use the VTD in the following scenarios:
-
With non-compatible implant systems not verified by the manufacturer.
-
In the presence of excessive patient movement or instability.
-
On components that require torque beyond the specified maximum of the device.
Warnings & Safety Precautions
To ensure safe and effective use of the VTD, follow these precautions:
1. Pre-Use Inspection:
-
Always inspect the driver for wear, cracks, or debris before each use.
-
Ensure the torque dial and mechanical components move smoothly and click securely into position.
2. Sterilization:
-
Sterilize the device according to your clinic’s infection control protocol before initial use and between patients.
3. Torque Settings:
-
Always confirm the correct torque value for the specific implant system and component.
-
Do not exceed manufacturer-recommended torque specifications. Over-tightening can lead to screw fracture or implant failure.
4. Operator Training:
-
Use only by trained clinicians familiar with implant systems and torque protocols.
-
Improper use can lead to implant component damage or patient injury.
5. Avoid Dropping:
-
Dropping the device can alter calibration or damage internal mechanisms.
Maintenance & Storage
-
Clean thoroughly after each use to prevent buildup of biological material.
-
Store in a dry, sterile environment away from excessive heat or humidity.
-
Periodically check for calibration accuracy using a torque testing device.
Legal Disclaimers
-
The Variable Torque Driver (VTD) is classified as a professional-use dental device. It is not intended for use by unlicensed individuals.
-
All clinical procedures carry inherent risks. The user assumes full responsibility for ensuring proper training, patient consent, and compliance with local regulations.
-
The manufacturer, distributor and Taft Dental Supply LLC shall not be held liable for damage or injury resulting from improper use, misuse, failure to follow safety precautions, or use outside the intended indications.
-
Always refer to the full Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to operation. If the IFU is not available or is unclear, contact our team before use.
-
Product specifications and design are subject to change without notice.

Universal Rainbow Torque Box
Indications for Use & Safety Precautions
Indications for Use
The Universal Rainbow Torque Box is a modular dental torque kit intended for use in surgical and restorative implant procedures. It is designed to:
-
Apply controlled torque to implant-related components including:
-
Abutments
-
Cover screws
-
Healing caps
-
Final prosthetic screws
-
Multi-unit abutments
-
-
Accommodate multiple implant systems through a set of interchangeable driver tips and a calibrated torque mechanism.
-
Be used by qualified dental professionals in chairside or surgical settings.
This device is intended for professional use only by licensed dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists, or prosthodontists trained in implant protocols.
Contraindications
Do not use the Universal Rainbow Torque Box in the following scenarios:
-
With driver tips or implant systems not compatible with the box's torque mechanism.
-
In situations where excessive torque requirements exceed the tool’s maximum calibration range.
-
On components requiring a fixed (non-variable) mechanical torque driver per the implant manufacturer’s protocol.
Warnings & Safety Precautions
To ensure safe and effective use of the Universal Rainbow Torque Box, observe the following:
1. Component Inspection:
-
Visually inspect all components before each use for signs of wear, bending, or contamination.
-
Ensure driver tips lock securely into the handpiece and torque mechanism.
2. Sterilization:
-
All parts must be sterilized before initial use and between patients, using standard autoclaving procedures.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade torque calibration markings or material finish.
3. Torque Settings:
-
Use the appropriate torque setting for the specific implant system and component.
-
Never exceed the torque recommendations from the implant manufacturer. Over-tightening can result in fractured screws or compromised restorations.
4. Operator Proficiency:
-
Use only by professionals who have received training in implant prosthetics and torque protocols.
-
Improper use may damage implant components or compromise patient safety.
5. Calibration Checks:
-
Periodically test the torque mechanism with a calibration tool or send it for recalibration according to your clinic’s quality control standards.
Maintenance & Storage
-
Disassemble and clean all kit components thoroughly after each use.
-
Store in a clean, dry environment in the provided case to protect calibration and tip integrity.
-
Avoid dropping or forcefully closing the case, as this may affect the torque mechanism or damage the components.
Legal Disclaimers
-
The Universal Rainbow Torque Box is a professional-use dental device. Use by unlicensed individuals is strictly prohibited.
-
The user assumes full responsibility for proper application, training, and clinical judgment in all implant-related procedures.
-
The manufacturer, distributor and Taft Dental Supply LLC are not liable for injury, equipment damage, or restorative failure resulting from misuse, incompatible components, or deviation from clinical guidelines.
-
Always review the Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to operation. If unsure, consult with technical support before use.
-
Torque settings and tip compatibility may vary by brand. It is the clinician's responsibility to confirm compatibility before use.
-
Product specifications and kit contents are subject to change without notice to improve performance and safety.
