The ideal properties of dental lip retractors are crucial for effective dental procedures and include several important characteristics:
Material: Durable and non-toxic materials, preferably BPA-free plastic, ensure safety and flexibility for extended oral use.
- VisionButler is made of medical-grade silicone..
- Design: Ergonomic and lightweight designs prioritise patient comfort and minimise irritation, featuring smooth, rounded edges that work with the natural contours of the mouth, the freni and the sulcus.
- With tapered flanges and flexible silicone, there are no pressure points to traumatise the soft tissue.
- Visibility and Access: Retractors should provide excellent visibility and unobstructed access to the oral cavity, enhancing the efficiency of dental professionals during various procedures.
- VisionButler holds not only the lips out the way but the buccal flanges control the cheek tissues, improving visibility and access for Orthodontics, Hygienists, Restorative Dentists, Dental Imaging.
- Size Variety: A range of sizes allows customisation for different patients, accommodating various mouth shapes and sizes for children and adults.
- Three sizes – Small, Medium and Large offer a range for the dentist.
- Stability: Retractors must have a secure grip to maintain their position without slipping, ensuring a clear work area throughout treatments.
- While no retractor will suit all patients of applications, the VisionButler can be applied to many, with the cheek elements providing extra retention for stability during function.
- Ease of Cleaning: They should be easy to clean and sterilise, comply with strict hygiene protocols, and withstand repeated exposure to disinfectants and autoclave cycles.
- Medical grade silicon has excellent physical properties suitable for the dental environment, cleaning agents and high temperatures of the autoclave protocols
- Cost-effectiveness: Quality should be balanced with affordability to allow dental practices to maintain a sufficient supply.
- VisionButler which is tested to 1000 autoclave cycles, the financial savings compared to disposable retractors at circa 1.50 each ( 1,500 euro worth ) become apparent.
Environmental impact: The carbon footprint of supply, transportation, and packaging. Clinical waste should be compared favourably to alternatives.
