- Office Coordination:
- Used to color-match the operatory with other disposable items like patient towels and headrest covers for a professional appearance
Features

- Manufactured from thick paper that is designed to impede moisture flow and minimize liquid seep-through
- Standardized Sizing:
- Specifically sized as a "Ritter B" cover, measuring 8.5 inches by 12.25 inches to fit standard trays

Benefits
