DuraFlex’s most distinguishing benefit derives from its
material makeup, as it is not a nylon base but rather a
polyolefin thermoplastic polymer. This material has been
used in the medical field for years because of its
inert, durable and resistant quality to many chemical
solvents, bases and acids. With a water resorption rate
that is ten times lower than nylon, DuraFlex is
extremely resistant to stain and odors, making it our
most durable and color stable flexible solution. In
addition, polyolefins are much easier to adjust and
polish, and will not gum up when adjusting, making
DuraFlex our most convenient and dependable flexible to
deliver to our patients.
