You can support a great cause by purchasing your pink FlashTips today, through this limited-time offer. FlashTips support healthy practices Sultan wants to ensure healthy practices for its customers on a daily basis. Every day, dental practices go to great lengths to prevent the spread of infection among their staff and patients. One of the most common tools used by dentists and hygien- ists every day is a potential breeding ground for cross-contamination: metal air water syringe tips. It is estimated that nearly 75 percent of dental practices in the United States use metal tips. The problem with metal tips is that they need to be reprocessed after every patient use. Metal tips are exposed — even submerged — in blood, saliva and a variety of dental materials. It can be dif- ficult to clean and sterilize them because of the tips’ small lumens. CDC recommends single-use devices where possible How can you guarantee that the metal tips you’re using are properly cleaned and sterilized? The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends the use of single-use devices where possible, rather than reprocessing devices to prevent cross-contamination. FlashTips Disposable Air Water Syringe Tips from Sultan Healthcare provide the performance you expect from an air wa- ter syringe tip, while reducing the risk of cross-contamination that can occur with metal tips. FlashTips was awarded the 2012 Top Infection Control Product by the Dental Advisor. This exemplifies Sultan’s dedica- tion to providing high-quality products that help protect against cross-contami- nation in the dental industry. Visit www.flashtips.net/award.html for the complete Dental Advisor study on the risks of using metal tips versus dispos- able air water syringes.
