By Hu-Friedy Staff n Hu-Friedy, a global leader in the manufacturing of dental instruments and products, introduces the next generation of instrument manage- ment with its new IMS® Infinity Series™ Cassettes, designed for the most effective instrument processing and infection control. “Proper infection prevention is a top priority in dentistry,” said Ken Serota, president of Hu-Friedy. “Hu- Friedy continues to lead the industry through innovation of dental instru- ment management systems that ensure better infection prevention while maximizing efficiency and ROI for the dental practice.” Capitalizing on 30 years of success ininstrumentmanagementandinfec- tion prevention, Hu-Friedy developed the new IMS Infinity Series Cassettes to support the evolving instrument processingguidelinesandtoincrease dental practice efficiency while pro- tecting patients, staff and instrument investments. “Standardizing procedural instru- ment set ups with cassettes can help bring a dental practice to the next level in professionalism and patient care while saving time and money,” said Jennifer Naylor, Hu-Friedy vice president, infection prevention and instrument management systems business unit. “As dentistry’s innovator of cas- sette-based instrument management systems, we further perfected our IMS cassette line with enhancements to increase water flow, access and ergonomics for more effective instru- ment processing while increasing the safety in dental offices.” The IMS Infinity Series Cassettes are made from high quality, elec- tropolished stainless steel, which is more durable and less prone to break- ageorwarping.Hu-Friedyredesigned three key features of the cassettes to support the standards for instrument cleaning and handling: • A modern hole pattern with 30 percent additional open area pro- motes increased water flow through- out the cassette. It is more compatible with all cleaning equipment, includ- ing automated washers. • A silicone rail design reduces instrument contact by 59 percent, allowing for more access to instru- ments while holding them safely in place. • A user-intuitive latch design for a more comfortable, ergonomic grasp and single-hand opening. Users can tell at a glance if the cassette is locked or unlocked. exhibitors24 Chicago Midwinter Meeting — February 27, 2015 A solution for instrument management By Isolite Systems Staff n Dental isolation is one of the most common and ongoing challenges in dentistry. The mouth is a difficult environment in which to work. It is wet and dark, the tongue is in the way, and there is the added humidity of breath, which all make dentistry more difficult. Proper dental isolation and mois- ture control are two often overlooked factors that can affect the longevity of dental work — especially with today’s advanced techniques and materials. Leading dental isolation methods have long been the rubber dam — or manual suction and retraction with the aid of cotton rolls and dry angles. Both of these methods are time and labor intensive, and not particularly pleasant for the patient. Enter Isolite Systems: Its dental isolation systems deliver an isolated, humidity- and moisture-free work- ing field as dry as the rubber dam but with significant advantages, includ- ing better visibility, greater access, improved patient safety and a leap forward in comfort. Plus, it allows dentists to work in two quadrants at a time. The key to the technology is the “Isolation Mouthpiece.” Compatible with Isolite’s full line of products, the mouthpiece is the heart of the system. It is specifically designed and engineered around the anatomy and morphology of the mouth to accom- modate every patient, from children to the elderly. The single-use Isolation Mouth- pieces are now available in six sizes and position in seconds to provide complete, comfortable tongue and cheek retraction while also shielding the airway to prevent inadvertent foreign body aspiration. Constructed out of a polymeric material that is softer than gingival tissue, the mouthpieces provide sig- nificant safety advantages, and their ease-of-use can boost your practice’s efficiency, results and patient satis- faction. Isolite Systems provides three state-of-the-art product solutions for every practice, every operatory: Isolite, illuminated dental isolation system; Isodry, a non-illuminated dental isolation; and the new Isovac, dental isolation adapter. Using the Isolation Mouthpieces, all three dental isolation products isolate upper and lower quadrants simultaneously while providing continuous hands-free suction. This allows a positive experience where the patient no longer has the sensa- tion of drowning in saliva/water dur- ing a procedure and the practitioner can precisely control the amount of suction/humidity in the patient’s mouth. Isolite Systems’ dental isolation is recommended for the majority of dental procedures where oral control and dental isolation in the working field is desired. It has been favora- bly reviewed by leading independent evaluators and is recommended for procedures where good isolation is critical to quality dental outcomes.
