Flow Dental builds on digital imaging line

Conversion from film to digital takes many forms. It’s not just the dental office that is moving from film to digital imaging. Flow Dental, long a leading manufacturer of dental film and film accessories, has also transformed its product portfolio to include unique products essential to every dental practice that has gone digital.

“We determined that our relevancy in a digital world would hinge on our ability to provide dentists with accessories that improve sensor or PSP usage and augment procedure workflow, (no pun intended),” said Bill Winters, president of Flow. “Dentists have really responded to our digital products. They recognize the added value we put into each product. They don’t buy our products based on price, they buy based on the benefits to their practice and their patients.”

In today’s PSP market, for example, one out of every eight phosphor plate users relies on Flow’s Safe’n’Sure line of PSP envelopes. Safe’n’Sure’s three product styles each offer time-saving solutions to enhance throughput and productivity, while helping to extend the life and usage of the phosphor plates.

In the sensor area, Flow also distinguishes itself. At CDA Presents, Flow will introduce the innovative Slide’n’Stick sensor slippers. Slide’n’Stick enables dental professionals to quickly convert RAPiD or XCP film bite block into a universal sensor bite block. It’s easy to use, economical and allows the dental staff to continue to use the rings, arms, and bite blocks they’re comfortable with!

Other sensor accessories include new Snuggies adjustable sensor sleeves. With Snuggies, the user can cinch-tight the sleeve around the sensor, regardless of sensor size or thickness. It’s little things like that which add to office productivity and reduce expensive sensor repairs or costly replacements.

Sensible’s adjustable sensor positioner is also available. The Sensible bite block can be adjusted to the midline of any sensor, whether horizontally or vertically placed. It’s the only sensor positioner that can do all this.

And Flow is far from finished re-inventing itself. “As a family-owned business, much like the majority of dental offices we service, we are proud to be a valued provider of unique and elegant products. And the best is yet to come!”
