Non-Latex elastics are discontinued and the replacements are Latex Elastics
Relastics are 100% manufactured in the U.S.A. Relastics are manufactured using the highest quality Class 1 surgical-grade natural latex, guaranteeing the highest elasticity, fatigue resistance and water resilience, also resulting in the least force decay. Only the purest, high-molecular weight latex is used in the manufacture of Reliance’s Relastics, enabling optimum performance and the highest break-resistance.
Relastics as in the case of all intraoral elastics reach the corresponding force when stretched three times the slack elastic diameter.
Although Reliance recommends the use of latex-free elastics with latex-allergic patients, Reliance’s Relastics offer up to 4-6 greater performance life than latex-free elastics.
The proprietary manufacturing system used for Reliance’s Relastics, ensures precision cutting which results in consistent, uniform, precise and accurate elastic force delivery as well as clean-cut edges.
Relastics are lightly-powdered with non-toxic cornstarch to ensure easy individual elastic separation and use, with no residue. No colour additives
Easy-to-use, patient-friendly, colour-coded letter identification system. As easy as A, B, C, D, E, the cross-indexed colour-letter system averts any confusion in the orthodontic office and for patients.
