Description

TIDIShield Curing Light Sleeve with The SureCure Window™ provides a custom fit that eliminates the air pockets, wrinkles and excess film that may interfere with the depth and quality of cured restorations. You can be confident that the quality and depth of cure will not be adversely affected by using a custom fit barrier. You can also be sure that you have a quality restoration while protecting your patients from cross-contamination. Barriers reduce the need for using harsh disinfectants, thus extending the life of expensive curing lights. The manufacturer highlights the following features:

> Confident cures – The TIDIShield Curing Light Sleeves are proven to produce cured restorations equal to those where no barrier is used.

> Infection prevention – Unique individually wrapped, easy-peel outer wrapping protects inner sleeve from contamination. Eliminates the potential for bacteria build-up on curing light surfaces.

> Comfort – Custom fit with soft, rounded edges for greater patient comfort.

> Cost-effective – Extends the life of expensive equipment. Prevents hard to remove composite build up on the curing light tip.

Product Features

Consultants were provided with TIDIShield Curing Light Sleeves to fit the lights in their offices. The sleeves are easy to put on and the SureCure Window™ remains aligned over the tip of the light during use. The fit over the light guide was reported to be more secure than the fit over the handle. Some consultants taped the sleeve around the end of the handle to prevent bunching or shifting. TIDIShield Curing Light Sleeves are effective in preventing build-up of composite on the curing tip and keeps the areas around the buttons clean, sanitary and free of bacteria build-up.
