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.
