Cut/Buffer Strip Best Practice

Cut/Buffer Strip Best Practice

Wilder Lafond

9/23/2015

With the major issues in our industry this may seem trivial, but we are looking into our use of cut/buffer strips. What is our industry using for cut strips to protect patients from cast saws when removing cast impressions. Are you using a product labeled for this use or not? Are you exclusively using cast saw alternatives (blades, cast scissors) when a scanner isn't an option? I'm surprised to see no other thread in the listserve history and very few commercial options available.

I will post responses.

Thank you in advance.
