Impregum™ Soft Polyether Tray Impression Material now available in all deliveries, viscosities and set times to meet any needs

3M ESPE is expanding its role as the worldwide leader in impression solutions by making its already successful line of Impregum™ Soft Polyether Impression Material available in a cartridge delivery system. Impregum Soft Polyether Tray Impression Material provides dental professionals with the benefits of a polyether and the convenient dispensing style of a VPS.

This expanded delivery option offers dental professionals technique flexibility, allowing Impregum Soft Impression Material to be used in the one-step heavy body/light body technique or in the monophase technique. In its convenient new delivery system, dental professionals can now easily use Impregum Soft Impression Material in multiple operatories.

Dental professionals continue to choose Impregum Soft Impression Material to enhance the quality of their impressions and increase the efficiency in their practices by reducing retakes, remakes and adjustments. Its hydrophilicity allows for better impressions in moist conditions, and its unique flow properties offer excellent precision and accuracy of fit. Additionally, the material’s snap-set feature makes it more forgiving than traditional VPS materials—it will not start setting before the working time ends, and then does so immediately. This enables excellent detail reproduction without distortion. Plus, ImpregumSoft Impression Material offers improved taste, easier mouth removal and quick setting options.

Impregum Soft Impression Material, along with the Imprint™ 3 Impression Material, Position™ Penta™ Quick Alginate Replacement Material and the Pentamix™ 3 Automatic Mixing Unit, positions 3M ESPE as the worldwide leader in impression solutions. Impregum Soft Impression Material delivers accuracy and reliability, helping dental professionals reduce stress, enable operational excellence and enhance patient satisfaction.
