Description

CaviWipes HP are hydrogen peroxide-based disinfecting wipes rather than the traditional alcohol-based disinfecting wipes.  While removing 67 listed pathogens in a one-minute time frame, these wipes give the team the ability to confidently and quickly clean all surfaces from the bacteria, germs, and viruses that can impact your office.

CaviWipes HP is now also available as a spray bottle.

Unique Attributes

Hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectant for a faster and more comprehensive cleaning with less irritation that is common with traditional alcohol-based cleaners. Available in both a standard 6”x6.75” size or an extra-large 9”x12” size wipe.

Clinical Tips

  • Keep them sealed.
  • Make sure surface is wet for the full working time.
  • The contact time of 1 minute is different from other non-hydrogen peroxide based products, so be sure to read the directions to use the wipes properly.
  • Two wipes allow for the most effective clean.
  • Keep away from oxidizers, strong acids and strong bases. 

Indications

Indicated for use in all areas and surfaces without the requirement for PPE for normal use.

Consultants’ Comments

  • “Good working time, accurate impressions.“
  • “The consistency and accuracy were very good.”
  • “The Rigid Tray material was very accurate and set fast.”
  • “Great handling of material, hydrophilic properties, and fast set time.”
  • “The Bite registration material was very quick to set, and rigid/stable after setting.”
  • “Great impression and Bite Registration material. My assistants loved it.”

Description

Accur8 is a vinyl polysiloxane material available in 3 viscosities, Heavy Body, Rigid Tray, and Light Body, as well as a Bite Registration material. The impression material is available in both fast set (2:45 min) and regular set (5:30 min). The Bite Registration material is available with one set time (1:15 min).

Unique Attributes

  • Heat-activated, quick setting time begins upon intraoral seating.
  • Better material flow to reduce light-body displacement and improve accuracy under 2 microns.
  • High tear strength and easy removal for distortion free impressions.

Clinical Tips

  • Rigid Tray material is excellent for provisionals.
  • With the Heavy Body material, you should use less than what you would typically put in the tray because the material spreads nicely, especially if using a triple tray.
  • When using the rigid tray to make provisionals, make sure to use a somewhat flexible impression tray, otherwise it can be too rigid.
  • Move quickly with bite registration.

Indications

  • To be used for the purposes of creating, via impression, a reproduction of tooth and gum structure.
