Vistamaxx™

Material Innovation

i1 Biometrics is excited to introduce the biggest material innovation to boil and bite mouthguards in over 50 years!

Vistamaxx™ is a family of polyolefin elastomers manufactured by ExxonMobil Chemical. Vistamaxx™ has been patented for mouthguard manufacturing and the rights to use the material are exclusive to i1 Biometrics and its family of companies. The material is biocompatible, hydrophobic and exhibits properties and performance superior to the currently used boil-and-bite ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers. The biocompatible property means that Vistamaxx™ has no tissue reaction within the mouth and the hydrophobic property means that it will not absorb fluids.

The properties of Vistamaxx make it an excellent material for any mouthguard, but the fit of Vistamaxx™, made it a fundamental component to the Vector MouthGuard™. The i1 Biometrics researchers realized that they needed a material that would allow for a strong coupling to the upper jaw so that the Vector MouthGuard™ can produce an accurate measurement.

The Vistamaxx™ material has excellent retention with an exceptionally soft feel. Vistamaxx™ is odorless, tasteless and has good shock absorbing/dissipative properties and sufficient thickness protection in all areas. Because of the excellent retention and slower crystallization, the Vistamaxx™ material allows for a fantastic coupling to the upper jaw and an almost custom fit of the Vector MouthGuard™. Vistamaxx also allows the Vector MouthGuard™ to be reboiled multiple times. If the teeth move, or if the mouthguard is fit incorrectly, the mouthguard can be reboiled and refit for the comfort of the athlete. Vistamaxx™ is also a braces compatible product, any athlete wearing braces can still wear the Vector MouthGuard™.
