COVID-19 Has turned the light on Dental Aerosols and the significant health threat these aerosols have in dentistry

The Best Protection for Your Team & Patients is Your
Mechanical Equipment

The health of your team and patients is our highest priority. That’s why our dental Air & Vac Systems are equipped with essential features. Keeping each zone in mind.

Book Your Complimentary Aerosol Evaluation

The only way to truly see how well a vacuum system has been performing is by measuring both the Flow Rate and Negative Pressure at the tip of the High Volume Evacuator (HVE). With a quick visit from your local Air Techniques Aerosol Mitigation Expert that is armed with their FlowKit, they will have the ability to properly evaluate the central suction system of your practice. Schedule a visit by clicking below. One of our experts will be able to recommend real-stage strategies to maximize aerosol containment at your practice.  

————-

Proper use of an HVE can prevent Aerosols from spreading
within the operatory

Spray Mist to Aerosols

The use of high-speed instruments and powder jet handpieces generates spray mist Spray mist is a mixture of cooling water, particles, powder, splashes, droplets of different sizes, saliva, blood, and microorganisms If the spray mist is not correctly aspirated within the patient’s mouth, an aerosol cloud will be formed, which spreads over a radius of several meters

The Solution

When using a high volume suction system and correct suction method, the spread decreases by an average of 65%.^ *The proper dental vacuum system is the most effective tool for removing airborne particles from the oral cavity. The higher the flow, the more effective the vacuum pump is in removing airborne particles from in and around the patients’ oral cavity.

Flow is the Key to Removing Aerosols

Until the recent outbreak of COVID, high suction power  (negative pressure) was the metric used to determine the performance of a vacuum, but now that most offices are more concerned with removing aerosols, the flow rate is the true measure of your vacuum’s ability. Mojave uses Regenerative Side Channel Blower technology to achieve the key combination of both NEGATIVE PRESSURE and FLOW.

The following components of Air Techniques’ products offer the best possible protection:

MOJAVE DRY VACUUMS

Mojave provides the highest suction power of any dry vacuum system availabletoday. No matter how many users in your practice, Mojave delivers more flow thanthe competition.

 

NEW BACTERIA FILTER

AirStar compressors are now equipped with the finest microbial filters available worldwide. The 0.01-micron filter is capable of eliminating particles and microorganisms from the air at retention rates above 99.99995%.

SUCTION CANNULAS AND HANDPIECES
The Prophylaxis Cannula: with up to 2x more aerosol absorption. More protection for patients and therapists alike. This enables a tailor-made configuration of the relevant suction handpieces. The swivel joint can also be used for fatigue-free and ergonomic working. It maintains the correct angle, shortens the lever, and offers significantly improved handling. *Waiting on Health Canada approval*

EFFECTIVE HOLDING TECHNIQUE
In addition to using a powerful suction unit and the right suction cannulas, employing the correct suction technique can effectively reduce dangers and thus make an important contribution to protecting against the risk of infection.

DISINFECTION OF THE SUCTION UNIT WITH Monarch CleanStream
The unique formulation is designed for daily cleaning, penetrates, and helps remove line buildup while maintaining vacuum performance and suction.
