Modern Workhorses That Meet the Mark

Saleem Baba, DDS, began using a Midmark sterilizer almost 2 decades ago, when he was in dental school. Today, with 2 Midmark M11 units in his busy Sugar Land, TX, practice, Dr. Baba can sum up the reason he’s never felt the need to use other sterilizers in the years since—and he can do it with just one word: “familiarity.”

“I’ve used the M11 exclusively since dental school,” Dr. Baba said. “Midmark's been the standard for a long time and it’s a solid workhorse in our practice. It’s easy to use, clean, and maintain. The self-opening feature is very efficient.”

Clean and Safe—Every Time

Along with an intuitive countdown clock, the M11 steam sterilizer features a color-coded LED light bar, allowing clinicians to quickly view cycle progression, as well as possible error messages, such as the door being opened before the cycle reaches completion.

"I saw positive peer reviews, and when I asked the dental repair technicians, Midmark was considered the best," shared Peter Dantini, DDS. "It’s quick and efficient, and automatic ‘set it and forget it’ is invaluable on a busy day."

Fast Cycle Times

Designed to make instrument reprocessing automated and simple, the M11 features a graphical color display, onscreen tutorials, fast cycle times, and step-by-step prompts, along with a re-engineered chamber that delivers 2.5 times more cycle life than previous models.

“Midmark takes into account that practices have many different instruments requiring varied steam cycles, and it offers different settings so that instruments never get damaged,” added Dr. Todd Sarubin, who has used Midmark sterilizers for 20 years.

Automated Cycle Recordkeeping

In addition to user authentication, automated cycle recordkeeping, and unlimited storage of routine care events to help practices stay compliant, the Midmark M11 also offers daily, weekly, and monthly routine care reminders.“

The M11 can tell us if something is amiss or if we may need to replace a worn-out component,” Dr. Sarubin added. “Midmark’s reputation is impeccable, and its sterilizers are at the top of the ‘food chain.’ I don’t know that I would trust another sterilizer manufacturer.”

It’s an experience echoed by Paul Nguyen, DDS, in Prairieville, LA, who particularly appreciates the larger chamber of the M11, as his 7-operatory practice tends to go through many instruments throughout the day.

“When we built our new practice in 2020, we purchased all new Midmark patient and operator chairs, as well as delivery units," Dr. Nguyen shared. "We based our decision on a combination of esthetics, comfort, brand reputation, workflow, and price, and Midmark offered the best balance for us.”

When Space Is Challenging…

The M9 is Midmark's compact, space-efficient sterilizer. Hana Rashid, DDS, found the M9 to be perfect for smaller workspaces. “We had the M9 for 20 years, but once we got busier, we moved to an M11 because we needed a bigger sterilizer,” she shared. “We’ve found excellent service and quality, and we like how quickly we can turn over our instruments.”

Adam Beno, DMD, has used Midmark’s M9 sterilizer for 6 years. The Fort Myers, FL, dentist based his initial purchasing decision largely on Midmark’s reputation for reliability and dependability. “With the Midmark M9 sterilizer, if anything needs to be serviced, technicians know exactly what needs to be done. It's very user-friendly and completes cycles reliably and efficiently, leaving instruments dry and ready for use.”

“I can’t imagine the M9 not being part of my practice—it is a constant workhorse that never lets us down,” shared Salomon Maya, DMD, who chose the unit 16 years ago, primarily for its reliability and ease of use. “I fully trust Midmark to deliver on a day-to-day basis with high efficiency and reliability,” he added.
