Bite wing for dental sensors

Abstract

A protective envelope for a radiographic sensor. The protective envelope includes: a first sheet of polymer defining a first sheet peripheral edge; a second sheet of polymer defining a second sheet peripheral edge, the second sheet of polymer extending substantially parallel to the first sheet of polymer with the first and second sheet peripheral edges substantially adjacent to each other; the first and second sheets of polymer being welded to each other along a weld band extending along a portion of the first and second sheet peripheral edges; the protective envelope defining an envelope first end edge, a substantially opposed envelope second end edge and two substantially opposed envelope side edges extending therebetween; the weld band extending along the envelope second end edge and along a respective portion of each of the envelope first and second side edges extending from the envelope second end edge; the weld band defining a corner section substantially adjacent a junction of the envelope second end edge with one of the envelope first and second side edges; the weld band defining a notch extending substantially obliquely into the corner section from the first and second sheet peripheral edges.
