Photo/ Provided by Crosstex AD Crosstex International Inc. and its sub- sidiary Accutron Inc. have launched the AXESS™ Mask, a single-use, lightweight and low-profile nasal mask that is con- toured to form fit comfortably over the patient’s nose. AXESS Mask and scavenging circuit are constructed of slender, lightweight tub- ing to reduce drag that can lead to mask displacement. The mask and circuit com- bined are designed to provide patients with a comfortable experience while of- fering clinicians easy and unobstructed access to the oral cavity. Neither the mask nor the scavenging circuit contains natural rubber or latex. “Crosstex is excited to be able to offer new, innovative solutions that address patient comfort as well as patient safety. The AXESS Mask and scavenging circuit offer relaxation for the patient while giv- ing the clinician better access to the oral cavity,” said Gary Steinberg, president of Crosstex International. “Patient safety has always been the cor- nerstone of the Crosstex mission,” said Jackie Beltrani, vice president of Global Marketing for Crosstex International. “The growing emphasis on patient com- fort and nitrous oxide/oxygen sedation correlates with an increase in positive patient experiences. For dental profes- sionals, that has the potential to mean more referrals and more opportunities to grow their practices.” For more information about AXESS Masks or for free mask samples, call (800) 531-2221 or go to accutron-inc.com. About AXESS Masks AXESS Masks offer visual assurance to the clinician because fogging appears in the translucent mask when patients breathe through their nose. The contour around the mask perim- eter provides a nasal/facial seal that minimizes ambient nitrous oxide in the operatory and gas flow into the patient’s eyes — all without the use of tape or un- comfortable cannula protruding into the patient’s nostril. The accompanying low-profile scav- enging circuit easily retrofits to most scavenging circuits and can be steam- sterilized and reused, making it both cost-effective environmentally friendly. AXESS Masks are available in three sizes and two scents — mint and bubblegum. A clear, unscented version is available for scent-sensitive patients. and About Crosstex Crosstex International, a Cantel Medical company, manufactures infection pre- vention and compliance products for the global health care industry.
