Clinical Evaluations
T-Mixer Colibri
Consultants’ Comments
- “I just loved the bendability of the cannula − it made cementation more accessible.”
- “Great access with the small tip.”
- “I liked everything about this product − easy to mix, bend, place and use.”
- “The built-in cannula allows precision placement − good length and bendability to reach difficult-to-access areas and it did not over-bend.”
- “I loved these tips. It was easy to syringe my ultra-light material into the sulcus of preps. I loved the brown tips for build-ups.”
- “Too small to use for impression materials.”
- “It was cumbersome and time consuming to read which tip went on which cartridge.”
- “A truly amazing product. The most effective way I’ve found to place cements and build-ups.”
Clinical Tips
- Very convenient for cementing posts in a canal. It is far superior to just “spinning” a reamer or periodontal probe in the canal to place cement.
- The smaller tip size produced more accurate dispensing of the material and less waste.

Description
T-Mixer Colibri consists of a mixing tip with a built-in cannula that is used to directly dispense the material at the clinical site. The cannula is constructed of smooth, round medical-grade stainless steel for safe application in the gingival sulcus and root canals, and it can be fully rotated 360° for easy access to sites. The cannula is also bendable, while maintaining a constant inner diameter for consistent flow of material from the tip. The T-Mixer Colibri plus MBT 4.2-12-N11 is fully compatible with MIXPAC cartridges containing 18 to 75 mL of material. Three other mixing tips with cannula are available – the T Mixer Colibri MLT 2.5-10-N09, MLT 2.5-10-N11 and the MLT 2.5-10-N14. These three sizes are fully compatible with MIXPAC cartridges containing 2.5 to 10 mL of material.
