Key Benefits:

The Ainsworth Rubber Dam Punch (ASI-2350) is a precision-engineered dental instrument designed for reliable, repeatable performance in restorative and endodontic procedures. Measuring 165mm (6-1/2″), it’s built from high-grade German stainless steel, giving it the strength and corrosion resistance dental professionals need for daily clinical use and repeated sterilization cycles.

At the heart of this punch is its rotating punch head, which offers multiple hole sizes to accommodate different tooth positions and clamp types. This versatility means a single instrument can handle a wide range of isolation needs, reducing the number of tools required chairside and streamlining your workflow.

The dull, matte finish isn’t just cosmetic — it minimizes glare under operatory lighting, helping you maintain precise control and visibility during delicate procedures. Combined with an ergonomic handle, the punch delivers a comfortable grip that reduces hand fatigue during extended use, while ensuring clean, accurate perforations in the rubber dam every time.

Precise punching is essential for a tight seal around clamped teeth, which directly supports effective moisture control and treatment area isolation — key to successful endodontic and restorative outcomes. Manufactured by Aero surgical Instruments in Sialkot, Pakistan, the ASI-2350 combines skilled craftsmanship with rigorous quality standards, making it a dependable addition to any dental instrument kit.
