White Mac Tip vs Micro 20 ga Tip: Delivery Comparison
By Ultradent Products, Inc. | Published: 2026-10-19
Category: Comparisons
Compare the all-plastic White Mac Tip for large-volume dispensing and the Micro 20 ga tip for standard composite flow. Find the right resin injection tip for your procedure.
Quick answer
Choose the White Mac Tip when you need to dispense large volumes of material quickly; pick the Micro 20 ga tip for standard flowable composite delivery where consistent flow matters.
Volume vs. precision: the core trade-off
The White Mac Tip is an all-plastic tip designed for high-volume dispensing, making it ideal for bulk applications like impression materials or large restorations. The Micro 20 ga tip, by contrast, is built for standard flowable composite delivery, offering a narrower gauge that gives you more control over placement.
Material and compatibility
Both tips are from Ultradent and fit standard syringe systems, but their intended uses differ. The White Mac Tip's all-plastic construction keeps it lightweight for extended use, while the Micro 20 ga tip's gauge is optimized for consistent resin flow without clogging.
Trade-offs at a glance
- White Mac Tip – large volume: Best for dispensing large quantities of material quickly. The all-plastic design keeps it lightweight and cost-effective at USD 185.25.
- Micro 20 ga tip – standard composite flow: Ideal for consistent flow of flowable composites. Priced at USD 208.05, it offers precision for smaller, detailed work.
- Key trade-off: The White Mac Tip sacrifices fine control for speed and volume; the Micro 20 ga tip sacrifices volume for accuracy and consistency. Match the tip to the material volume and placement precision your procedure demands.
Product facts
- White Mac™ Tip: The all-plastic White Mac Tip is designed for dispensing large volumes. This makes it a time-saver when you're placing bulk materials, reducing the number of tip changes.
White Mac™ Tip - Micro 20 ga Tip: The Micro 20 ga tip enables consistent flow for standard flowable composite delivery. You get reliable, predictable placement for composite restorations without worrying about uneven extrusion.
