The 3M™ ESPE™ Directed Flow Impression Tray is an innovative, single-use tray that eliminates the need for a tray adhesive, simplifying both preliminary and final impressions.

Contact your authorized 3M ESPE dental distributor.

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.

Simplifies procedure to save time

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.
