Why use polymer scanner sleeves?

Polymer sleeves combine precision, hygiene, and cost-effectiveness. Optical polymer injection molding produces precisely fitting components that are suitable for both disposable and reusable applications, depending on the material. One-piece or two-piece sleeves reliably prevent cross-contamination and ensure maximum patient safety. At the same time, they protect the sensitive optics of the scanner from liquids and scratches, thus extending the service life of the device. Thanks to their ergonomic design, the sleeves facilitate access even to hard-to-reach areas in the mouth and ensure clear, brilliant image quality for precise digital impressions. The optical precision achieved through plastic injection molding ensures high scanner speeds.

Our technological focus areas

Benefit from our many years of experience—especially in these areas:

Precise manufacturing

Thanks to state-of-the-art injection molding, we guarantee maximum dimensional accuracy—for precisely fitting scanner attachments that optimally support the performance of your intraoral scanner.

• Precisely fitting scanner attachments for optimal scanner performance
• High dimensional accuracy even with large quantities
• Reliable series quality thanks to state-of-the-art injection molding

Perfect Optics

Our coating technologies ensure clear light transmission, minimize reflections, and prevent fogging – for brilliant scan results in every application.

• Clear light transmission without distortion
• Customized anti-reflective coatings optimized for specific wavelengths and anti-fog coatings for brilliant scans
• Protection of the optics for consistently stable results

Medically safe

We use only tested, biocompatible plastics and develop surfaces that ensure maximum hygiene and safety.

• Use of certified, biocompatible plastics
• One-piece sleeves possible
• Sterilizable sleeves possible
• Compliance with the highest standards in dental medicine

Individual coating systems (parameters: number of layers, layer thicknesses, layer materials) can be adapted to the desired application so that the corresponding reflection requirements in the relevant wavelength ranges are met.

FAQ - Do you have any questions?

We have the answers – clear, understandable and to the point

Which plastics are suitable for medical technology and the dental industry oral scanners?
We only process tested, biocompatible plastics that meet the high requirements of dental and medical technology. This ensures safety, stability, and hygiene standards at the highest level. The choice of material depends primarily on whether the product is disposable or reusable.

How does VIAOPTIC ensure maximum hygiene and biocompatibility?
By combining high-quality materials, smooth surfaces, and innovative coatings, we guarantee products that are hygienically safe, meet optical requirements, and are biocompatible – ideal for use on patients.

What advantages do coated plastic parts offer over uncoated ones?
Coated plastic parts are more resistant, more hygienic, and more optically efficient. For example, they prevent reflections or fogging while protecting the sensitive optics of intraoral scanners.

What coating technologies does VIAOPTIC use?
Depending on the requirements, we use special anti-reflective, anti-fog, and protective coatings. This ensures that each component is precisely tailored to the needs of our customers.

Can plastic parts be customized to meet customer requirements?
Yes—we develop tailor-made solutions, from design to series production. This results in plastic parts and coatings that are precisely matched to your scanner technology.

How does VIAOPTIC ensure consistently high quality in series production?
Using state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, automated processes, and strict quality controls, we guarantee maximum dimensional accuracy and consistent product quality – even for large quantities.

What norms and standards does VIAOPTIC meet in production?
Our production is based on international standards for medical technology, such as GMP-PPAP IQ OQ PQ. This ensures that our products reliably meet regulatory requirements.

Does VIAOPTIC also offer support in the development and design of components?
Yes – we accompany our customers from the initial idea through prototype development to series production. Our expertise in design, injection molding, and coating ensures efficient and innovative solutions.

How sustainable are the materials and processes used?
We focus on resource-saving manufacturing, durable products, and sustainable material options. In this way, we combine technological excellence with responsibility for the environment.

Which is better: disposable or reusable sleeves for intraoral scanners?
Both options have advantages: disposable sleeves offer maximum hygiene and easy handling without additional cleaning effort. Reusable sleeves can be sterilized, which can save costs in the long term. With our expertise in injection molding and coating, we develop sleeves that guarantee maximum safety and brilliant scan quality in both areas of application.
