Combat Lingering Aerosols
In our new COVID-19 world, virtually every practice has been forced to amplify its infection control protocols prior to reopening for normal patient care—and that's in addition to virtual waiting rooms, temperature checks, and maintaining a socially distant patient flow.
While there are plenty of chemicals being wiped and sprayed on operatory surfaces and equipment in line with these new safety measures, the hypochlorous acid (HOCl) fogger from Midlantic Dental & Medical offers a more effective and completely natural disinfecting solution that cleans not only surfaces, but ambient air.
Used effectively in Korea for many years, HOCl fogging is quickly gaining recognition in the United States for its ability to safely and easily disinfect from floor to ceiling.
A Powerful Disinfectant in a Fast Format
HOCl is a powerful oxidant that is nontoxic and nonirritating to eyes and skin. Unlike the sodium hypochlorite in chlorine bleach, which carries a negative electrical charge and can take up to 30 minutes to kill germs, HOCl is neutral—allowing it to penetrate the wall of the negatively charged germ in a matter of seconds.
An ultra-low volume particle size of 20 microns to 50 microns allows the atomized solution to linger in the air for an extended period of time—encouraging prolonged contact with airborne pathogens. The HOCl fogger also is ergonomically designed with a shoulder strap and rotating nozzle, making it easy to fog an entire operatory in as little as 30 seconds.
3 Reasons to Naturally Disinfect by Fogging with HOCl:
1. Disinfect not only surfaces, but address the problem of lingering aerosols in the practice
2. A nontoxic and nonhazardous way to kill microbial pathogens that is 100x more effective than bleach
3. Communicate to patients and the dental team that their health and safety is your top priority
