Latex-free dam, in the heavier gauge

Latex on the medical history? A sheet that splits as it goes over the clamp? QED Non-Latex Dam is made in the UK by Four D Rubber from synthetic polyisoprene, which Four D describe as "a specifically synthesised version of the natural rubber molecule": it handles like rubber, without natural rubber latex. The same polyisoprene sheet as our medium dam, in the heavy gauge: 0.23–0.28 mm against the medium 0.18–0.23 mm.

This pack: QED Non-Latex Dental Dam, Heavy gauge, 152 x 152 mm (6 x 6 in), Light blue (Pack of 40) · non-sterile, single use
