Nobrux, the Corus anti-bruxism splint, helps you reduce your carbon footprint by up to 78% compared to a conventional analog splint.

What is a carbon footprint?

A carbon footprint is an environmental indicator that measures theamount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated directly orindirectly by an organization, product, event, or person.

The increase of CO₂ in the atmosphere is one of the main causes of global warming and, consequently, climate change. That’s why measuring and reducing emissions is essential for building a more sustainable dentistry. As we care about the environment, we have collaborated with ClimatePartner to calculate the emissions of our solutions and products.

How does Nobrux help reduce the carbon footprint?

At Corus, we are committed to integrating environmental responsibility into everything we do. This means not only innovating in products and protocols but also developing solutions that minimise environmental impact.

Nobrux achieves a reduction of up to -78.17% in CO₂ emissions (equivalent to 2.4 kg of CO2 per splint) thanks to:

More efficient use of products and materials.

· Digital workflow eliminates many steps required in analog splints.

· Material waste is reduced thanks to digital 3D additive manufacturing.

Optimised logistics.

· Fewer product inputs and outputs are needed with the digital workflow, such as eliminating the initial analog shipment with the patient’s measurements.

Lower energy consumption.

· No need to create physical models, which are mandatory in analog splints.

· Reduction in the facilities required for analog manufacturing.

· The thermoforming process is not required.

Nobrux vs. analog splints: a sustainable change

The digitised workflow of Nobrux not only simplifies processes and improves the patient experience but also significantly reduces the carbon footprint compared to traditional splints.

At Corus, we believe the dentistry of the future must be innovative, efficient, and environmentally responsible.
