NeoDrys Save You Money
Stop wasting money on pads and rolls that either fall apart or get saturated quickly. When you add up the reduction in botched procedures and wasted time — NeoDrys cost less!

NeoDrys Outperform the Competition
NeoDrys advanced inner core traps moisture quickly to provide a superior dry field. No messy leaks, even with the core fully saturated. Its moisture-proof backing protects the cheek from abrasion and bounces light into the working area. Our patented Comfort Edge^® eliminates stiff abrasive material that causes patient discomfort. Absorption, protection and comfort make NeoDrys far superior to any other product on the market.

• No loose fibers left behind that need to be cleaned out of the oral cavity.

• Saves time by protecting procedures from moisture contamination from the parotid gland for up to 15 minutes.

• Super absorbent core—far outlasts messy cotton rolls and other absorbent pads.

• Complete coverage of the parotid orifice and entire buccal mucosa with a non-cutting comfortable poly barrier.

• Cheek retraction facilitates work far back in the oral cavity.

• Flexible, tapered design accommodates cheek movement.

• Comfort Edge^® provides maximum patient comfort.

• Stays in place yet removes easily with water spray.

• ReFlective backing provides light reflection into the oral cavity.

• Saves money.

DESCRIPTION:

The NeoDry products are manufactured in two sizes, Large and Small.  The NeoDrys are manufactured with two backing types, Reflective, a metalized film backing, and Original, a white backing.  The NeoDrys are used to absorb saliva from the parotid gland.  They have a semi-permeable barrier to capture the saliva with super absorbent particles and trap the saliva within the body of the NeoDrys. Within the NeoDrys is a core stiffener to offer cheek retraction as the product expands with saliva.

INDICATIONS

The NeoDrys are used to absorb moisture from the parotid gland for up to 15 minutes.  The super absorbent polymer traps moisture as a gel when in contact with saliva.  The NeoDrys core stiffener provides cheek retraction to facilitate procedures far back in the oral cavity.  The NeoDrys backings brighten the oral cavity during procedures and the medical grade poly netting adhere gently to the tissue to stay in place yet removes easily with water spray.

Testimonials

Janic Liao DMD, Dublin, CA

Christopher Shyne DMD, North Arlington, NJ

 "NeoDrys is the best product on the market! There is no 'cotton fluff' attached to the cheek after removal. I have never used a better, easier to use product for moisture control and cheek protection."

Christopher J. Baer DMD, Denver, CO

 "Great product for those difficult procedures requiring dryness and accessibility far back in the oral cavity, without trauma to tissue."

George Manolarakis DDS, Huntington, NY

 "I really appreciate how long NEODRYS last during a procedure before they have to be changed. I can do a cavity prep with one NeoDrys as opposed to 3-4 Dri-Angles.”

Teresa M Lowery DDS, Denver, CO

 "Thinness allows easy access to teeth #2 & #5 and keeps the area dry - cotton rolls & 2x2's too bulky."

Daniel J. Mulligan DDS, Richmond, VA

 "NeoDrys are fantastic and are a part of everyday dentistry in my practice!"

Mary Sheilds DMD MPH, Louisville, KY

 "I'll be honest, the new NeoDrys ReFlective ROCK! The reflective surface increases visualization and patients love the comfort. All my patients say they're great because they don't have that "cotton mouth" feel anymore after a procedure."

Dana Shumate DDS, Wilmington, NC

 "NeoDrys ReFlective is so much better than regular "Dry Angles" - Thanks!"

 "NeoDrys are very convenient on large buccal pad of fat and in restoration of upper posteriors. I also use it in children to guide and control the tongue."

Rachel Thomas DDS, Mineola, NY

 "LOVE your NeoDrys! - On my old brand the chrome backing would flake off into my composite restorations. My patients think it is really cool to see the amount of saliva that collects when we remove the NEODRY."

Kimberly A. Kozloski DMD, Marietta, GA

 "The most useful product innovation we've introduced into our practice!"
