COLD FORM IMPRESSIONS

A small cotton dam is inserted into the canal at a point just in front of the second bend in the canal.

At this point you may be asked to insert a polysterene block in to your mouth which keeps the mouth and importantly the ear canal in its widest position. We do this to ensure the tightest fit of certain specilaised products.

The laboratory is presently the largest of its kind in Europe.

The technician will then mix the appropriate amount of Room Temperature Vulcanising Silicone (RTVS) and uses a specially designed syringe to fill the ear canal and the entire concha of the ear. When this material sets (approximately five minutes) the moulds are removed from the ear, packaged and taken to the laboratory for manufacture. The laboratory is presently the largest of its kind in Europe and has a capacity for thousands of units a week.

When the moulds arrive at the office they are placed in a specially designed scanning unit that converts the mould into a perfect digital image. This image is then sent to one of the four new Project 3510 MP 3D digital scanners. In an overnight process that takes place in a temperature and pressure controlled secure area the product is produced using the latest Microflex Extreme material.

We make a great impression

This material is recognised as the most advanced available today.

Our unique process guarantees that the finished product is the truest likeness to the original impression taken and guarantees both comfort and acoustic performance over years of continued use.

Upon placing an order for custom moulded protection, one of our representatives will arrange a suitable date to visit your site to take the necessary ear impressions.

During the procedure our technician will check the health of the ear and advise or refer should there be a contra-indicator to performing a scan or cold impression

A sound survey can be carried out by fully qualified members of the Academy of Accoustics using Class 1 sound metres . This is an additional cost but ensures the correct filter strength is selected for the delivered product. Your own existing sound survey can be used if there is one available .

After manufacture the products are supplied in their own secure carry case with full instructions and a cleaning tool. Lanyards are also available should they be required.
