EA good impression starts with good impression silicone. We have Akouz Light, Medium and Heavy impression silicone, especially made for digital production. The names Light, Medium and Heavy are corresponding with each materials’ characteristics. The material can be used with the Automix 2, Automix 2-T and Variomix mixing pistol.
Our production department knows the characteristics of these impression materials, so that our custom made products get the optimal fit. When you choose the right impression silicone with the amount of hearing loss and indicate the hearing loss with the order, we will make create the custom made ear mould with the most optimal properties. Our software is tailored to create the best fitting product in combination with the material and amount of hearing loss.
The impression materials are also attractively marketed and can be ordered easily through our client portal.
