Gingival Retractor Thread (254 cm) - Vidu

VIDU Retractor Yarn is made of 100% cotton, with an interwoven mesh structure that exerts a smooth and continuous outward force after placement.

VIDU GINGIVAL RETRACTION FLOSS - PLASTIC NEUTRAL CERTIFIED - ZERO PLASTIC FOOTPRINT

The gingival retractor thread, although made of 100% cotton, cannot be recycled. For hygienic and sanitary reasons it is difficult to find an alternative material. VIDU works to always offer the most responsible solution and, while maintaining the necessary hygienic qualities in the clinic, always seeks a balance between fair price and care for the planet.

In the case of the retractor thread, while they work on researching alternative solutions, they have reached an agreement with The Gravity Wave whereby every month the same amount of plastic is collected from the Mediterranean Sea, its coasts and ports as they generate.

LET'S BE PART OF THE CHANGE!

• Plastic Neutral. Certified by Gravity Wave.
• 100% recyclable packaging. Recyclable materials have been used as a priority in the packaging of the retraction thread, always guaranteeing the highest quality and hygiene conditions for the products.
• Fair price. By achieving a fair and reasonable price, we always seek to offer the least polluting and most easily recyclable solution possible, guaranteeing the highest quality and hygiene conditions for the products.
• Online distribution. The marketing of these products is carried out via the internet, thus avoiding unnecessary transport and contamination.
• Responsible consumption. Don't use more thread than necessary!

How to manage the waste generated in the clinic with the use of retractor cord?

• How to recycle this retractor thread?

Unfortunately, the retraction cord is not recyclable. What is the reason for this? As they have been used in the mouth, they are considered as contaminated material with a potential biohazard. Disposal of unused yarn can be carried out without any problem together with other biological waste. VIDU is working on the development of alternatives and new recycling channels for clinical waste.

• How to recycle the packaging of this product?

The canister used for the Thread Retractor is made of recyclable (HDPE) plastic and it's that easy:

1. When you have used all the floss, place the can in the yellow bin or in the container where you usually store "Plastic containers, cans and bricks" at the dental clinic.
2. Once you have accumulated enough, dispose of it in the nearest recycling bin.

Where does the Vidu retractor thread come from?

One of the brand's objectives is transparency, which is why the country of origin is always specified on the packaging of all products. It will vary from one product to another, always looking for the manufacturing conditions that ensure: Quality, sustainability and fair prices.

In the case of the retractor thread, it is manufactured in Seoul, Korea.
