TAGLUS PREMIUM

Superior material properties and enhanced esthetics

Taglus Premium is an innovative aligner and retainer material with superior material properties and enhanced esthetics. As a unique engineering combination of elasticity with matchless rigidity and crack resistance, it offers the most optical clarity along with stain resistance for enhanced esthetics.

Key Features

• Ultra-Transparent Sheets: Light transmission of Taglus premium as per ASTM D1003 is 91% makes it the most optically clear aligner material in its class.
• Best-in-class mechanical properties: High tensile modulus, impact & flexural strength impart exceptional crack resistance and durability to aligners
• Predictable tooth movement: Gentle yet consistent sustained forces; help in treating diverse orthodontic cases
• Dual Protective masking: Ultra-thin, peel away masking on both sides ensures that it remains scratch-proof, moisture resistant and promotes shelf life.

Material Composition

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

Properties

Tensile Modulus (Young's Modulus): Taglus Premium sheets having a very high tensile modulus of approximately up to 2610 MPa, tested as per ASTM D638:2014 give the best crack free aligners.

Clarity: Taglus Premium has highest clarity in its class. Light transmission as per ASTM D1003 is 91%.

Clinical Safety

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. 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.

Applications

• Aligner fabrication: 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
• 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.

Shelf Life

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