MEDICOM
Playing It Safe in the Dental Practice
In keeping with infection-control guidelines, Medicom offers a complete suite of products to outfit a dental office
It’s never been more important for dental practices to ensure a safe experience that protects both the dental team and patients. The emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases, along with the increased resistance of microbial antibiotics, mean that dental professionals must adhere to strict guidelines at every stage—from setup to procedure to cleanup.
Keeping your office safe and sterile requires the use of high-quality products from a trusted manufacturer. These include the donning of personal protective equipment, the use of sterile and disposable materials during treatment, and the discarding and secure sterilization of materials following patient care.
Medicom has displayed a commitment to health and safety with a wide range of products that offer consistent protection in the dental practice. From wearable items to single-use restorative materials, Medicom uses carefully selected materials and engineers its products to help practices ensure infection prevention as easily and effectively as possible.
What to Wear
Dental professionals are at risk from multiple routes of cross-contamination and infection due to direct contact with body fluids, exposure to airborne infectious particles, and possible contact with contaminated treatment items such as instruments. From masks and sponges to gowns and shoe covers, Medicom has the dental team covered, literally, from head to toe.
Adhering to OSHA’s fluid-resistance requirements, the SafeWear line of protective apparel is complete with lab coats, jackets, and isolation gowns made from top-quality fabrics designed to keep you protected and offer a comfortable fit. Both the SafeWear Hipster Jacket and the SafeWear High-Performance Lab Coat are highly breathable and disposable, and made of ultra-soft, fluidresistant materials that meet the Level 2 requirements of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation.
