The ACCLEAN Advantage

The ACCLEAN Hands-Free HVE is what hygienist Amber Metro-Sanchez calls a “great time saver.” The high-volume evacuation device provides 280º of suction, ensures a clear, dry field, reduces aerosols, and offers an unobstructed view of the cavity. It simply makes procedures easier, allowing her to “work continuously with [her ultrasonic scaler] without having to break to suction.”

“It freed up a hand and was able to reduce saliva and excess fluid,” agreed Heather Giordano, CRDH. “It was helpful during scaling and root planing and made it easier to isolate the treatment area while applying children’s sealants, which is typically challenging.”

Patients Love It, Too

The ACCLEAN Hands-Free HVE does wonders for the patient experience. While treating an elderly patient who couldn’t help swallowing during ultrasonic scaling, it allowed Metro-Sanchez to “remove the water immediately and make the patient more comfortable.” A mouthpiece made of soft, custom-blended polymer also improves comfort.

The device easily integrates with existing HVE systems, which helps evacuate water efficiently, said Allison Koska, RDH, who described the high-speed evacuator and mouthpiece as “game changers,” especially when treating patients with calculus on every tooth surface.

ACCLEAN Hands-Free HVE is just one of several ACCLEAN by Henry Schein products designed to help hygienists do what they love faster, easier, and at a great value. Here, we highlight several DPS Best Products from the ACCLEAN line with insights from hygienists who put them to the test.

ACCLEAN: Quality Tools at a Great Price

Another fan favorite, ACCLEAN Diagnostic Instruments are made of durable stainless steel, and were developed in collaboration with hygienists. The handle etch design and rings on both ends optimize the grip and prevent slips, while the smooth surface in the center of the handle prevents glove damage or skin irritation. 

The fact that they’re hand-sharpened improves efficiency, while probes featuring precisely etched markings allow for accurate diagnosis. DPS evaluators also appreciated the replaceable mirror heads, which include a scratch-resistant coating to ensure visibility.

“ACCLEAN by Henry Schein is known to have great products that are durable, comfortable, and help improve the clinician’s tactile sensitivity,” said hygienist Jessica Raymond-Allbritten. “These diagnostic instruments fit right into the lineup of good-quality instruments with competitive pricing.”

Lightweight Curettes & Scalers

Instruments in the ACCLEAN family of double-ended curettes and scalers feature an uncoated design that allows for resharpening and prolonged use.

DPS evaluators noted the lightweight, sharp instruments enabled more efficient treatment, while also appreciating the ergonomic design.

 “Anyone experiencing hand issues from instruments that are too heavy should try ACCLEAN Curettes and Scalers,” hygienist Sherry Morrissey said. 

Powerful Prophy Paste

A 1.23% fl uoride-ion prophy paste infused with tricalcium phosphate (TCP), ACCLEAN Prophy Paste offers excellent stain removal and polishing performance. Hygienists like that the easy-to-use prophy paste doesn’t splatter, rinses clean, and has a taste patients love.

“ACCLEAN Prophy Paste with TCP is very effective at removing surface stains without gingival irritation, with coarseness that provides accurate polishing,” said Jessica Dusseault, RDH. “The effectiveness is great; the ease of rinsing is ideal and reduced overall polishing time.”
