ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure relates to an improved floss implement comprising a composite of a multifilament yarn bonded to an extruded monofilament. Both elements are made of polymer compounds, preferably nylon, to provide desired ease of use of the monofilament as a leader to pass the implement easily between the teeth or under bridges while the multifilament yarn can be provided in looped embodiments, as a bush element or in the form of one or more tails thus providing superior flossing action when passed between the teeth or under bridges.
