Keystone Industries® has obtained 510(k) clearance by the U.S. FDA to sell its revolutionary 3D printing night guard and splint resin in the United States, joining Canada and the EU as territories where KeySplint Soft can be purchased. KeySplint Soft is unlike any other 3D printing material. Without being brittle, it is tough and durable like a hard splint to withstand the forces of bruxism, yet flexible for patient comfort. It is abrasion and fracture resistant. KeySplint Soft is made in the USA, has 3 years of guaranteed shelf life, and is a highly-efficient and profitable way to make splints and night guards.
