Scotchbond + RelyX
Dental luting composite and adhesive
Overview
The two who can do everything better
The Challenge
Over the past twelve years, Eckstein Design has partnered several times with 3M, an industry-leading manufacturer of dental equipment and dental products. This cooperation has resulted in several innovative and successful products.
When 3M decided to expand its offering in the disposable market, the global company again partnered with Eckstein Design to bring its vision of high-quality disposable medical products designed with unbeatable usability to market, starting with a Scotchbond bottle and the RelyX syringe.
The Result
The new Scotchbond Universal Adhesive™ and Relyx dental syringe are equally synonymous with optimized functional and esthetic results and simplified workflow in modern dentistry.
This is perfectly reflected in the innovative delivery form of the high-performance products: the design of the newly developed dental syringe with dropper bottle perfectly combines a high Ease of Use factor and a contemporary style. An aesthetically elegant design language with a clear medical look offers a pleasant overall feel, plus self-explanatory handling and optimum product ergonomics.
