The Voco caps warmer assists in making composite and nano-ormocer restorative materials easier to extrude and manipulate, particularly if stored in a dry environment, Voco stated in a release. Warmer, more viscous material will have a softer consistency, allowing the material to better adapt to the imperfections, microetch pattern, or small fissures within the prep, the company added.
The warmer, which is optimized for Voco restorative capsules, has three different temperature settings: 98 °F (37 °C), 130 °F (54 °C), and 155 °F (68 °C).
