What could possibly make a toothbrush cost more than a decade of dental insurance premiums? The Reinast is a German precision-engineered, full titanium body toothbrush that claims to have unparalleled durable strength and biocompatability.* Its lightweight, ergonomic design has an antibacterial coating applied to the most critical point, the interface between toothbrush and replaceable brush head. Although the exorbitant price does not include a Dental Hygienist, included are five new bristle heads sent to you every six months.)
Reinast claims these properties combined with what they term “timeless design”, resulting in the first everlasting hygienic toothbrush, justifies the price tag as fine accessory and an exclusive gift.
If you’re like me, you may be wondering just what is biocompatability?
This is how it is defined on Wikipedia:
*Five definitions of biocompatibility
• “The quality of not having toxic or injurious effects on biological systems”.
• “The ability of a material to perform with an appropriate host response in a specific application”, Williams’ definition.
• “Comparison of the tissue response produced through the close association of the implanted candidate material to its implant site within the host animal to that tissue response recognised and established as suitable with control materials” – ASTM
• “Refers to the ability of a biomaterial to perform its desired function with respect to a medical therapy, without eliciting any undesirable local or systemic effects in the recipient or beneficiary of that therapy, but generating the most appropriate beneficial cellular or tissue response in that specific situation, and optimising the clinically relevant performance of that therapy”.
• “Biocompatibility is the capability of a prosthesis implanted in the body to exist in harmony with tissue without causing deleterious changes”.

Premium Titanium
Made from full body premium titanium, Reinast has superior standards on the material and manufacturing quality compared to medical devices since primarily these have only a titanium coating.

Antibacterial Coating
This prolific alloy not only elevates the product’s beauty, but also carries various hygienic and medical advantages.
