Directed Flow Impression Tray

Simplifies procedure to save time
The 3M ESPE Directed Flow impression tray includes a revolutionary self-retentive fleece strip designed to hold the impression material securely in the tray, eliminating any need for a tray adhesive. This means fewer handling steps, saving an estimated five minutes per procedure as well as no more unpleasant odor or mess from a tray adhesive. In addition, the retentive fleece features striations that act as a barrier to avoid tooth/tray contact and occlusal flat-spots for better impression results.

Innovative design improves accuracy, simplifies inventory
The innovative, directed-flow design minimizes flow defects and distal voids for more accurate impressions. Generated utilizing CAD/CAM technology, a significant innovation for impression trays, the 3M ESPE Directed Flow impression tray was designed based on numerous anatomical studies and measurements. Thus the tray requires only three sizes for upper and lower impressions, allowing for an optimal fit while also simplifying inventory.

Better patient comfort and improved infection control
A built-in reservoir reduces gagging for improved patient comfort, and with a single-use tray, there is no need to disinfect and clean, as with metal trays.

Offers excellent stability for a wide range of impression procedures
The 3M ESPE Directed Flow impression tray is a rigid, disposable impression tray that offers excellent stability and accurate results when making preliminary impressions of temporary restorations, study models, opposing dentition, fabrication of trays (e.g., bleaching, mouthguards), and full arch final impressions for crown and bridge applications. Additionally, the tray can be customized, if necessary.

New impression tray completes state-of-the-art impression system from 3M ESPE
For over 30 years, dentists have depended on 3M ESPE brands to provide the highest quality impression materials and delivery systems. We introduced the first cartridge-dispensed vinyl polysiloxane impression material and revolutionized impressioning with the introduction of Impregum™ Polyether Impression Material.

In 1993, the Pentamix™ Mixing Unit revolutionized impression taking. It set new standards in quality, practice and innovation. Today, it has become the most successful and most frequently used automatic mixing system in the world.

Now, the 3M™ ESPE™ Directed Flow Impression Tray rounds out the first complete impression system by 3M ESPE, making both preliminary and final impression-taking processes easier and faster than ever before.
