DESCRIPTION:

Flaps products are manufactured in two sizes, Original and Long depending on the size of the patient’s mouth. Flaps are single-use bite tabs for digital sensor and film x-rays which allow the patient to comfortably bite down. Flaps allows full occlusion and visual reference for accurate image positioning and reading. Flaps have an adhesive surface which sticks firmly to the x-ray sensor or film. Flaps are made from soft polyethylene foam and are latex free. They are perfect for horizontal or vertical bitewings, or periapical x-rays using either parallel or bisecting angle technique. Flaps help prevent gagging.
