page 7DTß room in two providing a space for recovery patients and nor- mal patients. These are the main areas where I see it be- ing used and – in the right practices – it will have a good use in dentistry.” Apart from the contami- nation and space boxes that the KwickScreen ticks, the innovative screen had an- other purpose, as Michael ex- plained: “A screen can have pictures printed onto it, which is making them ever more popular. For example, the environment of the dentist’s treatment room is one where the look and feel of the place is important because there are patients that are fully awake and alert. Also how the wait- ing room looks like is impor- tant. With the KwickScreen you can have something print- ed on the screen that is calm- ing and is easy to change so you don’t have to stick with the one design. “We’re actually running a competition at the moment, which is based in the Royal College of Arts, where we’re asking people to design pic- tures to be printed on the screens. There’s also an exter- nal competition where people can submit their design and we print them. The competi- tion should lead to some quite interesting ideas!” As Michael explains, since its inception onto the medical market, the KwickScreen and its inventor have won several awards, both in the UK and internationally. To begin with, Michael was the UK winner of the UK Dyson award, and was also runner up for its interna- tional award. “To be the UK winner is amazing, it’s prestigious. I’m really delighted, it was tough competition and as far as com- panies and people to be asso- ciated with and to be endorsed by, I don’t think I can get any better than James Dyson. He’s exactly what we’re about.” If there are any dentists that are budding artists or photographers who wish to enter their pictures visit www. kwickscreen.com and click on the art tab. KwickScreen has recently undergone trials in the Uni- versity College Hospital and the National Hospital for Neu- rology and Neuroscience in London, and has received very favourable feedback on both a microbiological and user level.
