On top of their duties as patient care providers, dental professionals serve as stewards of the practice. Each day, team members work diligently to create an environment that’s not only pleasing to patients but also safe. A key part of this effort includes cleaning and disinfecting operational surfaces.
When performed properly, surface disinfection protects everyone who enters the operatory from risk of infection transmission, while visibly demonstrating the practice’s commitment to safety. Success, however, depends on the quality of products used in the process. Authorities like the CDC advise that a dental operatory disinfectant should be effective against a range of pathogens without posing an additional health risk to patients and staff. With its pdCARE line of nontoxic, intermediate-level surface disinfectants, Patterson Dental offers practices a safe, reliable way to keep the operatory infection-free.
Wipe Away Contaminants
Patterson pdCARE Wipes deliver comprehensive disinfection in a convenient grab-and-go solution. These disposable wipes are designed for use on any hard, nonporous surface and offer proven effectiveness against tuberculosis, bacteria, fungi, and viruses—including SARS-CoV-2—with a contact time of just 2 to 3 minutes. As a result, this product keeps practices aligned with infection control recommendations and regulations, including OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standard.
