November 20, 2023

Embrace Sustainability and Savings with Spandex Advanced Lip & Cheek Retractors

Spandex Advanced's innovative and flexible design moves seamlessly with the lips and cheeks, ensuring secure and comfortable retraction in both open and closed mouth scenarios. This adaptability makes it an excellent choice for various dental applications, including: Embrace Sustainability and Savings with Spandex Advanced Lip & Cheek Retractors

Discover the Future of Patient Comfort!

Dental professionals are continually seeking ways to enhance patient care while also being mindful of environmental impact and cost-effectiveness. Enter Spandex Advanced Lip & Cheek Retractors, a versatile, durable, and reusable solution that checks all the boxes for modern dental practices. The Spandex Advanced has a high contrast and more comfortable design for patients, as compared to the clear hard plastic devices that are typically used. Let’s dive right into the rest of the features and advantages of this remarkable dental tool.

The Spandex Advanced Advantage

    • Made from 100% Medical Grade Silicone
      Spandex Advanced is crafted from high-quality, medical-grade silicone. This material is not only safe for patients but also incredibly durable. Its latex-free composition ensures compatibility with a broad range of patients, reducing allergic reactions and irritation.
    • Autoclavable and Reusable
      One of the standout features of Spandex Advanced is its autoclavable nature. This means that it can be sterilized and reused multiple times. In fact, it has been tested for up to 1,000 autoclave cycles. By choosing Spandex Advanced, dental practices significantly reduce clinical waste and save money compared to using disposable retractors.
    • Soft and Flexible Design
      The soft and flexible design of Spandex Advanced sets it apart from traditional retractors. This flexibility eliminates inner rim pressure, enhancing patient comfort, especially during longer procedures. This design is a game-changer for both patients and dental professionals.
    • High Retention
      Spandex Advanced boasts high retention capabilities. Whether the patient’s mouth is open or closed, this retractor stays in place. This feature ensures versatile applications, making it suitable for a variety of dental procedures.
    • Full-Lip Coverage for Added Protection
      The Spandex Advanced retractor provides full-lip coverage, offering extra protection for the lips against sharp instruments, rotaries, whitening agents, and more. Dental professionals can perform their procedures with confidence, knowing that patient safety is a top priority.

Designed for Multi Applications

Spandex Advanced‘s innovative and flexible design moves seamlessly with the lips and cheeks, ensuring secure and comfortable retraction in both open and closed mouth scenarios. This adaptability makes it an excellent choice for various dental applications, including:

  • Hygiene Appointments: Ensuring a clear view of the oral cavity for thorough cleanings.
  • Whitening Procedures: Safely exposing teeth for effective whitening treatments.
  • Digital Dentistry: Facilitating precise digital impressions and scans.
  • Restorative Dentistry: Offering optimal access for restorative work such as fillings and crowns.
  • Orthodontics: Enabling orthodontists to work efficiently during consultations and adjustments.

Embrace Sustainability and Savings

One of the most significant advantages of Spandex Advanced is its eco-friendliness and cost-effectiveness. Dental practices that aim to reduce their environmental footprint and save money can count on Spandex Advanced as an ally.

Consider the Cost and Environment

If your practice currently uses 200 single-use retractors per month at $2.05 per use, you’re generating 2,400 pieces of clinical waste each year, costing your practice $4,920.

In contrast, Spandex Advanced, tested for over 1,000 autoclave cycles, offers a cost per use of just 20 cents. A single Spandex Advanced retractor is equivalent to more than 12 boxes of 80 single-use retractors. This translates to significant cost savings and a substantial reduction in clinical waste.

Consider Cosmetic Case Acceptance:

Considering the cost of elective cosmetic dentistry, the Spandex Advanced is the product that pays for itself! One tooth cosmetic correction can pay for the cost of a Spandex Advanced, so you won’t need to wait to see an ROI!

  • Porcelain veneers: $500–$2,500 per tooth
  • Composite resin veneers: $250–$1,500 per tooth
  • Lumineers: $700–$2,000 per tooth
  • Removable veneers: $300–$3,500 per arch
  • Temporary veneers: $200–$400 per arch
  • Zirconium veneers: $1,000–$2,000 per tooth

 

It Just Makes Sense!

Spandex Advanced Lip & Cheek Retractors offer a win-win solution for dental practices – superior patient comfort, versatile application, and substantial cost savings while reducing environmental impact. By embracing this innovative, reusable dental tool, you can not only enhance the quality of patient care but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable future in dentistry.
