Products Uniquely Designed to Simplify Your Routines
These 3 Hager products have been given the DPS Best Product stamp of approval for their unique design, proven effectiveness, and ability to make dental professionals’ lives easier
Have you ever started using a product and thought to yourself, where has this been all my life? That could very well be the inspiration behind Hager Worldwide, a self-proclaimed "specialist in dental specialty products" that's home to many unique and thoughtful product innovations. Here, we highlight 3 of those solutions that have been put to the test and deemed DPS Best Products.
BioGuard
Poor vacuum performance can lead to costly downtime, creating stress for both staff and patients. To the rescue is BioGuard, a vacuum line solution designed to work even when the office is closed. This means you can cut downtime and maximize efficiency.
BioGuard uses bacterial enzymes with continuous cleaning ability, enabling it to work 24/7 to eliminate line-clogging debris such as biofilm, prophy paste, and fluoride gel. Sherry Morrissey, a hygienist who evaluated BioGuard for DPS and continued to use it after the trial period, has found it to be extremely effective in her practice. For Morrissey, BioGuard’s cleaning power is its most beneficial feature. “I like a product that removes the sticky fluoride varnish that attaches to the walls of my suction lines,” she said. “It forcefully fl ushes out all the disgusting debris that collects in my vacuum lines.”
Miratray Implant Advanced
Featuring a unique transparent foil technology, Hager’s Miratray Implant Advanced allows dental professionals to do open-tray implant impressions without modifying a stock tray or fabricating a custom tray. Miratray comprises a transparent foil technology that helps with visualization. While durable, it can be punctured when necessary.
Dr. Timothy Kosinski uses Miratray Implant Advanced for all of his open-tray implant impressions in his Bingham Farms, MI, practice. “In our profession, time is money, and convenience and ease of use are very important to effi ciency,” he explained. “The Miratray Implant Advanced is a tool that I use for predictability of my implant impressions, and my dental lab appreciates the accuracy and elimination of guesswork in their model work.”
Prior to using Miratray, Dr. Varo Boyer would use stock trays and cut out windows in them so he could take open-tray implant impressions. “Miratray is a very clean and easy way to take open-tray impressions,” he noted.
One Touch Revolution
A “revolution” indeed, Hager’s One Touch Revolution features a unique pump dispenser that releases the perfect amount of anesthetic gel.
“The One Touch gel doesn’t run down the throat or disperse everywhere,” said Dr. Frank Friedman. “It only dispenses the perfect size bead of topical that is easily picked up on a cotton tip applicator with no waste or mess.”
This innovative delivery method reduces the risk of crosscontamination because the application is neat and the jar is easy to clean. Dr. Friedman also noted that the product lasts longer and creates minimal waste because it only dispenses the ideal amount each time he uses it.
