ApneaLink™ Sleep Screener
Now available with Oximetry!

A cost-effective single-channel screening device designed to identify patients at risk for sleep-disordered breathing.  Accurate and simple to use, the ApneaLink uses a nasal cannula to record patient breathing. It automatically analyzes and derives AHI, flow limitation, and snoring which then generates a report with color-coded Risk Indicator for review.

A convenient accessory for the new sleep screener is pulse oximetry.  Pulse oximetery allows the ApneaLink to record three channels of information: respiration, oximetry, and pulse.  This feature is designed for those who want more information and are interested in expanding their screening capabilities.

ASTICS™ Translucent Labial Bow
Clearly what your patients will want to wear.

Beautifully clear, the patented ASTICS translucent labial bow provides both the aesthetics patients desire, and the performance you expect. ASTICS composite wire replaces traditional metal wire and can be used in either a Wrap Around retainer or a retainer attached to an Adams clasp. Highly adaptable, ASTICS can be formed to closely fit labial surfaces.

Exceptionally resilient and fatigue resistant, the ASTICS labial bow maintains its shape better than metal wire, providing superior retention and durability. ASTICS will not harm restorations. ASTICS is only 0.033î in diameter, so itís aesthetic and not bulky. Plus, being a composite, the ASTICS labial bow is strong.

How ASTICS works

ASTICS wire is precisely formed on the model and then light cured to set the exact, fixed position. The cured wire is then inserted into hollow metal connectors on the appliance and permanently attached with adhesive. Any adjustments to the fit can be done at chair side by adjusting the metal U-loops. The shape of the labial bow cannot be adjusted.

ASTICS Composite Wire vs. Metal Wire

• Translucent, aesthetic
• Greater resilience
• Wonít harm restorations
