Frequently Asked Questions
What does 2+1 poly and 3+1 poly mean on your Medicom Dry-Back bibs?
2 ply = 2-ply, or layers, of paper and 1-ply, or layer of poly (plastic backing)
3 ply = 3 ply paper and 1 ply poly
Some competitors of Medicom claim 2-ply but it is really only 1-ply paper and 1-ply plastic.
Why do the bibs include a feature like plastic backing?
Plastic backing increases tear-resistance and provides maximum protection against spill penetration.
What is the difference between Professional Towels and the Dental Bibs?
Professional Towels are all paper towels (no plastic backing) and used as a multi-purpose towel (wiping down counter tops, hand towels and also as bibs).
Dental Bibs (poly-back) are used to drape the patient. They have a plastic backing for extra protection of patient’s clothing.
Are the dental bibs bio-degradable?
Yes. The paper part is bio-degradable, but the plastic is going to take longer to bio-degrade.
Are the bibs latex free?
Yes they are latex free.
What is the thickness of the 3-ply SafeBasics® Dry-Back® Bibs?
The thickness of the bib is approximately 1.2mil (+/- 10%).
