Abstract

In order to ensure a good cleaning of the interdental spaces, an interdental cleaner comprises an elongated, rod-like carrier of a first plastics material, which is covered in partial areas of its surface by at least one insert or support made from a second plastics material, which is softer than the first plastics material. The insert can be placed in a recess formed in the carrier and positively held therein. If the first plastics material of the carrier and/or the second plastics material of the insert or support contains one or more additives, the cleaning and care action can be varied and optimized. For the production of an interdental cleaner, the second plastics material of the insert or support is injection moulded onto the first plastics material of the carrier, the carrier and the insert or support being manufacturable in a two-component injection moulding process.
