VellaMini

Preventech has recently introduced a new pouch delivery system for its Vella 5 percent sodium fluoride varnish with NuFluor. This new squeezable unit dose pouch, called VellaMini, dispenses easily on the back of your glove, moving your work space closer to the oral cavity and allowing you to free up one hand for cheek retraction.

VellaMini makes applying varnish faster and easier than ever, especially on younger, squirmy patients, according to the company.

And since a fluoride varnish application is likely the last procedure prior to releasing the patient, simply de-glove to eliminate any possibility of a sticky mess.

With VellaMini, the company asserts the entire application and cleanup process will take less than two minutes.

VellaMini contains the same clear, thin-layer formula as Vella 5 percent sodium fluoride varnish. It also features NuFluor, a patented combination chemistry containing fluoride, calcium and phosphate for extra-added protection.

VellaMini provides fast fluoride release and uptake at two hours and immediate relief from sensitivity, according to the company. In addition, it is sweetened with xylitol and gluten-free. VellaMini is also n-Hexane free.

Most important, VellaMini looks better, feels better in the mouth and tastes great, according to the company, which asserts it will improve compliance and assure patients get the extra protection they need.

VellaMini is available in five flavors — strawberry, spearmint, melon, bubblegum and new caramel — so now varnish patients of all ages can enjoy a pleasant taste experience during the treatment period.
