With estimates of latex sensitivity in the general population ranging from 0.8% to 8.2% and the risk increasing with prolonged and repeated exposure, the issue of latex sensitivity has become an increasingly common issue in orthodontics (and dentistry in general).
To help minimise the occurrence in orthodontics and patients with latex hypersensitivities ORTHOMAX has an extensive range of latex free elastomeric materials including most sizes of intra-oral elastic bands as well as elastomeric ligatures and chains in a variety of configurations.
These products also out-perform traditional latex elastomerics so they are completely suitable for all patients.
