From Plastic to Profit: How VisionButler Saves Your Practice Nearly €8,000 Annually

Disposable foam retractors only seem inexpensive. If your two-chair practice uses 20 daily, annual costs for these disposables reach €9,000 – plus dozens of kilograms of plastic waste. The solution is VisionButler: a reusable silicone retractor for €120 that replaces 1,000 disposable pieces without compromise. Let's do the math.


1 Daily and annual disposable consumption

  • 20 retractors × €1.8 = €36 / day
  • €36 × 250 working days = €9,000 / year

  • 2 How much does VisionButler cost and save?

  • Purchase price: €120 / piece
  • Lifespan: 1,000 sterilization cycles
  • Amortization + sterilization: €120 ÷ 1,000 ≈ €0.12 / cycle
  • Daily operation (20 uses): 20 × €0.12 = €2.4
  • Annual operation (250 days): €2.4 × 250 = €600
  • Additionally, every 1,000 uses requires 1 new VisionButler:

  • 5,000 uses = 5 new VBs → 5 × €120 = €600 annually.

  • 3 Financial balance incl. reinvestment

    Disposable retractors: €9,000
    VisionButler (operation + reinvestment): €600 + €600 = €1,200
    Annual savings: €7,800


    4 How quickly does the investment pay off?

  • Initial investment for 5 VBs: 5 × €120 = €600
  • Daily savings: €36 − €2.4 = €33.6
  • Days to ROI = €600 ÷ €33.6 ≈ 18 working days
  • In less than three weeks, the initial investment is paid off – and then you're saving €33.6 every day after that.


    5 Notable benefits

  • Minimal logistics: 5 retractors instead of 5,000 boxes of plastic.
  • Infectious waste: reduction of waste weight by more than 95%.
  • Staff & time: no unwrapping or disposal – autoclave runs normally.
  • Comfort & aesthetics: soft silicone, ability to partially close mouth, and black surface as photo contraster.
  • Green branding: "Eco-friendly practice" attracts patients and partners.
  • Conclusion

    VisionButler isn't just an ecological attraction – it's the fastest returning investment in dental equipment. You're in profit after 18 working days and save over €7,800 annually. If you want to operate smartly, save time and money while protecting the planet, VisionButler is the clear choice.
