Medical Insta-Mold Earplugs
Over 35 years ago, Insta-Mold developed the very first "instant silicones" for manufacturing custom swimmolds, noise protectors, and earmolds for protection against water and noise. Today, Insta-Mold continues this success and now supplies several earmold labs throughout the world with heat-curable silicones and impression material for manufacturing laboratory molds and ear impressions.
What makes the Insta-Mold process so appealing to the medical profession is that a hearing specialist can make high-quality custom hearing protection and devices directly from the patient's ear �at any location, at any time. There is no 1-2 week waiting period or patient revisits due to laboratory translation error as the actual ear impression is the finished product. This gives your patients a finished product the "same day" and translates into additional time for you to see more clients and increase your office productivity.
In addition, your costs will be 7 to 8 times less expensive than sending it to a laboratory. This is like giving your practice an extra income stream without increasing your patient costs or changing your marketing schemes. In essence, you have developed your own "Insta-Lab" providing quality "On-the-Spot" ear protection against water and noise.
