technical Specification

Biocompatibility Testing

The raw material used to manufacture TAGLUS is compiled in accordance with various agencies worldwide as follows:
Taglus Premium™ sheet have passed biocompatibility testing namely Skin Sensitization, in vitro Cytotoxicity and Skin Irritation test as a regulatory requirement for demonstrating the preclinical safety of medical devices, this is evaluated in accordance with the standard guideline, published by the US FDA” Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, “Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process” which can be assessed at https://www.fda.gov/media/85865/download, issued on September 4th 2020 and originally published on 16th June 2016.

Applications

ALIGNERS

Taglus premium™ is made specifically for aligner fabrication. It may create a gentle but consistent force leading to a tooth movement of approximately up to 0.25 mm per aligner in 7 to 15 days depending on the recommendation of certified Orthodontics. The predictability in alignment along with clear appearance makes it the finest aesthetic teeth alignment solution.

ORTHODONTIC RETAINER

Its crack resistance along with the perfect blend of elasticity with rigidity makes it the retainer material of choice. It can be precisely adapted during thermoforming. The final product is ultra-clear, durable, and stain-resistant leading to excellent patient acceptance.

SURGICAL SPLINT

Due to its property of binding to all types of light and heat cured acrylics and the ability to adapt precisely to the model under pressure it is a very popular material used to fabricate surgical splints. Moreover, splints made from thermoformed Taglus premium™ have greater stability and consistently high quality due to zero curing shrinkage.

How to use Taglus Arch ?

Taglus Arch aims to lower manufacturing costs by eliminating the investment in expensive and space consuming equipment.We have innovated an exclusive Taglus Arch Adaptor Kit that can easily be used with thermoforming units such as Biostar, Ministar, Erkodent, Dreve Drufomat.It has components that serve as extensions and can be placed over your existing thermoforming unit.

FAQ

have any question

Is it clinically tested? How safe is it to use in the mouth?

Taglus Premium sheet passes biocompatibility testing namely Skin Sensitization, in vitro Cytotoxicity and Skin Irritation test as a regulatory requirement for demonstrating the preclinical safety of medical devices, this is evaluated in line with the standard guideline, ISO 10993-1:2018(E), Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1, vide UL Project #4788877994 as per document published by the US FDA “Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, “Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process” can be accessed at ttps://www.fda.gov/media/85865/download. Taglus Premium is “FDA compliant” means that a material meets all of the FDA’s guidelines for safety. It is made from PET which a plastic is recommended by FDA under 21CFR177.1630 guidelines for Polyethylene phthalate polymers. Being a BPA makes it a safe to use product.

How much effective tooth movement is possible when used for aligners?

Taglus premium is made specifically for aligner fabrication. It may create a gentle but consistent force leading to a tooth movement of approximately up to 0.25 mm per aligner in 7 to 15 days depending on the recommendation of certified Orthodontists

Do they offer any advantage when used for fabrication of surgical splints?

Due to its property of binding to all types of light and heat cured acrylics and the ability to adapt precisely to the model under pressure it is a very popular material used to fabricate surgical splints. Moreover, splints made from thermoformed. Taglus premium have greater stability and consistently high quality due to zero curing shrinkage.

What are the various commercially available dimensions and thicknesses of these sheets?

Available in a wide variety of thickness and shapes refer Table. Customized “Run-to-Size” dimensions are also available.

What advantage does PETG material have over the traditional PET material used in other thermoformed/ thermoplastic sheets?

Taglus premium is manufactured by the addition of special grade glycol to PET (polyethylene terephthalate glycol). This gives it three distinct advantages over its competitors:

Elimination of the hazing effect that occurs during heating.
Prevention of undesired crystallization.
The inner walls of the aligner and retainer are transformed into a softer, more comfortable material for the patient.

What are working codes for Taglus Premium?

Taglus Premium can be used with several commercially available thermoforming units. For working codes, kindly refer (brochure link)

What does the peel away mask do?

The sheet is covered on both sides with an ultra-thin layer of protective covering. This peel-away masking does not get removed during thermoforming procedure. It shields the retainer from getting exposed to dust and other substances that can affect its surface. Thus the optical clarity is preserved forming an ultra-clear final product.

Is it easily available all over?

Yes, Taglus Premium sheets have an extensive global distribution. Kindly contact us on info@taglus.com for more details

What is the shelf life of taglus premium

The shelf life is 03 years subject to non-opening of vacuum-packed packaging.
