Valplast Introduces Material Authentication Program

Valplast International Corp is excited to announce that we are phasing in serialized authentication cards to accompany Valplast® resin cartridges. The uniquely numbered cards provide the laboratory with a place to record the Valplast® material lot number used for the denture as well as the laboratory’s Valplast Processing Lab Certification ID number. The laboratory can also record the serial number from the card for their own records for compliance with state and federal regulations or quality management systems. The dentist can complete the information with the patient name, insertion date, and dentist’s name for the patient’s own records and for use when the patient registers their partial at www.valplast.com. Our introduction of this authentication program will help control the illicit use of counterfeit materials and misbranding, enhance identification and traceability of the material used in the denture, and protect the investment and commitment made by laboratories who use the Valplast® brand for flexible partial dentures. Laboratories can obtain more information and sample pamphlets at www.valplast.com/register.
