The Keasy liner is a unique product that provides a seamless alternative to the Pelite liner. Keasy cones are thermoformable, creating a smooth glueless finish that helps avoid possible allergic reactions. This also saves time in manufacture, allowing reworking of the material to allow for patient changes.
Made from a closed cell structure, the Keasy allows for easy cleaning, good hygiene and long life.
