PURELIFE DENTAL
BioSURF Disinfectant Wipes
Quick and effective, BioSURF Disinfectant Wipes offer an environmentally friendly solution.
An evaluator with 17 years of experience in dentistry said, "The rougher texture of the wipes not only disinfected, but also cleaned up physical debris such as paste better than our current wipes." Eight dentists and dental hygienists who participated in this Dental Product Shopper evaluation agreed that PureLife Dental's BioSURF Disinfectant Wipes are somewhat better than similar products offered by other manufacturers.
A mix of 14 dentists and dental hygienists with a total of 332 years of experience in dentistry participated in this evaluation of BioSURF Disinfectant Wipes. Each evaluator tested a kit containing BioSURF solution, LeCloth dry wipes, and reusable canisters. They rated and commented on several product features after using the wipes in-office for 4 weeks.
Ease of Using Wipes/Reusable Canister
Manufacturer Description: For fresh, wet wipes, add 17 oz of the BioSURF solution and a roll of dry wipes to the reusable canister. For a wetter wipe, simply add more solution. The wipes are 50% bigger than standard wipes for ease of use.
Evaluator Feedback: Ten evaluators rated BioSURF Disinfectant Wipes' ease of use as excellent and 4 rated it as good. All 14 evaluators rated the ease of using the reusable canister as excellent, very good, or good. A dentist with 28 years of experience in dentistry said, "My staff loved the ease of use. We had an easy cleanup of the treatment room." A second evaluator added, "Since separate disinfectant liquid is part of the package, I can easily refill additional liquid if the canister dries due to the top being left open."
Several evaluators made positive comments about the wipes. A North Carolina-based evaluator said, "I liked the thickness of the wipe." A second evaluator with 22 years of experience in dentistry added, "I liked the actual wipes?very durable and large." Both evaluators said they would recommend the product to colleagues or contacts in the dental profession.
When asked how BioSURF Disinfectant Wipes could be improved, one evaluator said, "The wipes are sometimes hard to remove from the container." A second evaluator said, "Some of my staff loved the smell, others did not." Both evaluators went on to say they would definitely recommend the wipes to colleagues.
Time Savings
Manufacturer Description: BioSURF Disinfectant Wipes clean and disinfect in 1 step. BioSURF?s 50-second solution kills TB, viruses, bacteria, and fungi in 50 seconds or less.
Evaluator Feedback: All 14 evaluators rated "product works quickly" as excellent or very good. In rating its time savings, 11 of the evaluators rated the product as excellent or very good. A dental hygienist who has been in practice for 27 years said, "I liked the drying time of the product." Two other evaluators mentioned the product was "quick" and had "good speed."
Environmental Friendliness
Manufacturer Description: BioSURF Disinfectant Wipes are environmentally friendly because they come in recyclable packaging. The wipes' gentle solution does not irritate skin, so there is no need for gloves. The nontoxic formula does not contain harmful phenols or aldehydes, making it safe for both patients and staff.
Evaluator Feedback: Seven evaluators rated environmental friendliness as their favorite product feature. An evaluator from Cary, NC, said, "I like the reusable container because it reduces plastic waste." A second evaluator said, "It's cost-effective and green. There was less plastic canister waste."
Overall Satisfaction
When asked to rate their overall satisfaction with BioSURF Disinfectant Wipes, 10 evaluators rated the wipes as excellent or very good and 3 evaluators rated it as good. A dental hygienist with 22 years of experience in dentistry said, "I have already contacted PureLife Dental to purchase refills of the liquid. Thank you for allowing me to try BioSURF."
