These prophy cups are 25% softer and more flexible than the original Elite cup. The enhanced softness is optimal for improved cup flare and flexibility around the contours of the teeth. Clinicians will notice the same great polishing and splatter control benefits as the Elite Original. The Elite Extend Flex cup is 19% longer than the Elite Flex. It is ideal for clinicians who prefer a longer prophy cup. These new cups will be available to those clinicians using autoclavable metal angles as well as to those using the Classic and Contra disposable prophy angles.
