Safety tips
Hockey should be fun. Play safely. Always wear your mouthguard, shin guards and a glove. Use hockey shoes with protective reinforcement and soles designed for your playing surface during matches and training.
Protecting your teeth
A mouthguard is a piece of personal protection equipment. It should meet current regulations, including the PPE regulation (EU) 2016/425. For example, the French standard XP S72-427 requires:
- Specific protective thicknesses to prevent perforation.
- An integrated ventilation space so users can breathe even with the jaw clenched.
- The upper and lower teeth fit together to lock the jaw more effectively (protection against breaks).
Protecting your teeth (cont.)
- Coverage of the gums to prevent teeth loosening.
The mouthguard should stay in place when you open your mouth.
Replace your mouthguard according to the manufacturer's indications or as soon as it begins to show signs of wear.
Refer to the product user guide in case of questions.
Design
Single component EVA (5 mm thick) for resistance to impacts and perforation (3 mm minimum under the incisors and front of the teeth after heat molding). Fully covers the teeth and part of the gums. 2 mm ventilation below the incisors. Complies with the EU regulation 2016/425 on Personal Protection Equipment and the new French standard XP S72-427.
Design (cont.)
EVA ensures the product is easy to mold and fits well. Heat molding helps the top and bottom teeth fit together properly so the jaw can be clenched in the event of a vertical impact. It is suitable for children with both adult and baby teeth. Supplied with a holder for use during heat molding.
