In any dental office, it is important to take precautions to prevent the spread of infection. At Surgimac Supply, it is our mission to help you prevent the spread of infection in any setting by providing you with quality disinfectant, sanitization, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Here are four ways our products can help prevent the spread of infection in your dentistry practice.
Respiratory Hygiene/ Cough Etiquette
To minimize the transmission of respiratory pathogens, masks can be a great option for staff to use. They can be especially effective when coupled with cough etiquette techniques like coughing into your elbow. Signage reminding patients of this etiquette can also be beneficial to reduce the spread of infection.
Regularly Disinfect and Sterilize High Touch Surfaces
Disinfecting and sterilizing patient care items should be a regular practice for every dentist's office, but what about the patient environment? Chairs, doorknobs, pens, and more are all constantly being interacted with by different people. Our Super Sani-Cloth Large Wipes can be a great way to quickly and effectively clean these surfaces.
Use Personal Protective Equipment
Ensuring your staff has sufficient access to PPE equipment like masks, gloves, eye protection, and more can make it more likely that they will use this equipment, thereby helping prevent the spread of infection. Make sure they also have plenty of places to dispose of this equipment appropriately.
Maintain Proper Hand Hygiene
Proper hand hygiene is crucial in a dentist's office. Signage can be provided to remind employees of proper handwashing techniques, and an effective antimicrobial soap should always be available.
