Very high tightening power thanks to unique shape memory steel alloy
Color coded silicone to recognize size & hardness easily
Unique silicon coating to prevent jammings and ease stacking

Shape memory steel

Cartridge wedges are made from a special steel alloy which gives shape memory properties to the wedge. This way, when it penetrates into the moulding, it spreads its wings which (because of shape memory) try then to come back to their initial position
State of the art sharpening

The sharpening of each wedge is controlled by laser to ensure a perfect regularity & maximum efficiency
Silicone coated

Wedges are not stuck together with glue or adhesive, since the accumulation of their residue can create jamming in the firing mechanism. The silicone spreads along the wedge, and this helps it slide and insert much better into the moulding
Color Coded

To identify quickly the wedges inside or outside the underpinner, silicone is colored depending on the hardness of wedges : Grey silicone for UNI Softwood Black silicone for UNI Hardwood & MDF
