ULURU Inc. has developed an innovative, patented delivery strip for whitening teeth which completely erodes. ULURU’s proprietary tooth whitening product consists of a laminated bilayer strip that utilizes the OraDisc™ technology. The layer which is applied to the teeth contains hydrophilic polymers and the active whitening ingredient, while the outer layer consists of a blend of hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers. The residence time of the strip on the teeth is controlled through the formulation. The outer layer serves to resist leakage of the active whitening agent into the oral cavity.

ULURU’s teeth whitening strip is designed to be more user friendly in terms of ease of application with improved aesthetic qualities. In controlled in vitro testing on extracted bovine teeth, the erodible whitening strip provided both superior and rapid speed of whitening compared to the market leader. When applied to the teeth and moisture is absorbed, the ULURU whitening strip completely erodes so that consumers do not have to remove the whitening strip after use. ULURU’s erodible whitening strip is designed to provide an exact amount of whitening agent to the tooth surface for a specific length of time, thus minimizing one of the major safety concerns associated with whitening agents.
