OptraDam Plus: a three-dimensional rubber dam
OptraDam Plus is a three-dimensional rubber dam that is flexible and has an anatomical shape.
Due to its anatomical shape and flexible, three-dimensional design, OptraDam Plus is completely different from conventional rubber dams. As the rubber dam is automatically stretched in an oral direction, an automatic hold of the device in the oral cavity is ensured. OptraDam is available in the adult sizes “Regular” and "Small".
