Why I Use... Monarch Family
Family of infection control products helps practices clean and disinfect equipment, waterlines, operatory surfaces, and instruments to minimize the risk of infection from harmful pathogens
Effectively cleaning the operatory comes down to choosing dependable products—from waterline cleaners to surface disinfectant wipes...and everything in between. With years of technical innovation under its belt, Air Techniques has made significant strides in infection control through its Monarch line of products. Here, 2 dental team members share how using Monarch has improved operatory cleanliness and helped to prevent the spread of harmful pathogens in their practices.
Do you deal with decision fatigue? Given the vast and ever-growing amount of dental products and manufacturers, it's easy to get bogged down when choosing new tools and equipment—especially when it comes to infection control. To keep your head from spinning, it helps to have a go-to disinfectant that you can depend on when a surface in your operatory requires immediate, everyday cleaning.
"Because Monarch products are easy to use and produce predictable results, any of our team members can step in and help turn over the operatory at any time."
-Carolyn Miskell, Practice Director at Tosa Dental
Covering all bases in the operatory when it comes to infection control, Air Techniques’ Monarch family of cleaners and disinfectants has proven its reliability among dental staff. Using a color-coded system to differentiate cleaning categories, each Monarch product is specifically formulated to clean surfaces (green), instruments (blue), equipment (yellow), and skin and hands (pink).
“The Monarch CleanStream Evacuation System has been a very pleasant addition to our practice,” said Chicago, IL, Office Manager Becky Pattenaude. “The scent is not overwhelming. Also, the dispensers used to purge the lines are large enough to purge 2 rooms, and are quick and very easy to fill."
Infection Control Simplified
Carolyn Miskell, Practice Director at Tosa Dental in Wauwatosa, WI, praised the Monarch products used in her practice for their ease of use and cost-effectiveness—including Monarch Enzymatic Cleaner, a presoak cleaner and ultrasonic detergent, and Monarch Vinyl Upholstery Cleaner, which cleans dental chairs without residue and and leaves a silky gloss finish.
“Because Monarch products are easy to use and produce predictable results, any of our team members, whether on the clinical or business side, can step in and help turn over the operatory at any time,” she explained. “The Monarch family has helped us streamline our practices to the highest level of efficiency!”
Pattenaude summed up Monarch's efficiency in plain terms: "Speed mixed with simplicity is always the best recipe."
