Clinical Overview
The PlastVac P7‑Plus is a compact, digital vacuum-forming device featuring dual-sided heating and programmable timing. Powered by a 1400 W motor and carbon-fiber heating element, it enables consistent production of thermoplastic appliances—such as mouthguards, bleaching trays, surgical guides, and orthodontic retainers—in a single clinical session with minimal setup.
Key Benefits
- Rotating dual-heating frame: uniformly heats both sides of the sheet for even forming, especially with up to 6 mm thick materials.
- Digital timer with audible alert: ensures precise and repeatable heating based on sheet type and thickness.
- Powerful vacuum motor: 1400 W vacuum engages automatically at the optimal moment for effective adaptation.
- Universal tray support: accommodates both round (Ø120–134 mm) and square (120–130 mm) sheets.
- No special installation needed: plug-and-play setup compatible with standard lab/clinic power lines.
- Fast ROI: typical cost recovery after forming ~30 appliances.
