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. From this collaboration, several innovative and successful products were created.
When 3M decided to expand its offering in the disposable market, the global company once again partnered with Eckstein Design to bring its vision of high-quality, medically disposable products with unbeatable usability to market, starting with a Scotchbond™ bottle and a syringe.
The Result
The new Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive and the RelyX™ dental syringe represent optimized results in both functionality and aesthetics, as well as a simplified workflow in modern dentistry.
This is perfectly reflected in the innovative delivery form of this high-performance product: the design of the newly developed dental syringe with dropper bottle ideally combines ease of use with a contemporary style factor. An aesthetically elegant design language with a clear medical look offers a pleasant overall feel, plus self-explanatory handling and optimum product ergonomics.
