Sulzer Mixpac's T-Mixer disposable mixing tips now have a shorter tip, creating less waste.
Mixing tips are single-use for hygienic reasons. The new blue model saves around 0.4 mL of material per crown and bridge (C&B) application compared with its predecessor, according to the company.
If a dentist performs an average of four C&B material sessions per day, this adds up to about 350 mL of savings every year, which is equivalent to seven 50-mL C&B cartridges, the company noted.
