- Light blue dental dam used by dentists and orthodontists to isolate specific areas of the mouth during dental procedures
Uses:
- High tear strength:
- The heavy gauge and polyisoprene material make it resistant to tearing, even when stretched to accommodate dental clamps
- Contamination prevention:
- Prevents the work area from being contaminated by saliva and blood, a crucial step for the success of many dental procedures
- Excellent retraction:
- Thickness and strength of the heavy gauge provide excellent retraction of the tongue, cheeks, and gums
- Improved visibility:
- Blue color enhances contrast, making it easier for the clinician to see and work on the isolated teeth
Features:
- Material:
- Made from synthetic polyisoprene, a high-elasticity, latex-free material that is safe for patients with latex allergies
- Gauge:
- Heavy-gauge dam, offering superior strength and tear resistance compared to medium or thin-gauge dams
- The thickness is specified as between 0.23mm and 0.28mm
- Size:
- Sheets are 5" x 5" (127mm x 127mm), suitable for adult patients
