- These are single-use, disposable barriers used in dental offices to maintain hygiene and protect valuable equipment
Uses
The sensor sheaths are a critical component of infection control protocols in dental radiography:
- Infection Control: Primarily used as a hygienic barrier over digital X-ray sensors during intraoral imaging procedures to prevent the transfer of patient fluids and saliva onto the sensor.
- Equipment Protection: Extends the lifespan of expensive X-ray sensors by minimizing exposure to harsh chemical disinfectants and potential physical damage.
- Routine Dental Exams: Used during standard patient examinations and diagnostic imaging where CDC guidelines recommend barrier protection for clinical contact surfaces.
Features
- Custom Fit: Specifically designed to fit the Schick CDR Elite Size 2 (and related models) sensor to ensure a precise, snug fit, eliminating excess plastic in the patient's mouth and optimizing image quality.
- Material: Made of durable, high-quality polyethylene film that is tear-resistant.
- Latex-Free: Safe for use on patients and clinicians with latex allergies.
- Packaging: Individually wrapped with an easy-peel outer layer to protect the inner sheath from contamination during handling.
- Patient Comfort: Features soft, rounded edges for greater comfort during placement and use in the patient's mouth
Benefits
- Enhanced Infection Prevention: Provides a reliable, single-use barrier that meets CDC guidelines for equipment barrier protection, promoting a safe clinical environment.
- Cost Savings: Reduces the need for costly and potentially damaging disinfectants, thereby extending the lifespan of expensive digital sensors.
- Improved Efficiency: The individually wrapped, easy-to-use design helps improve workflow by simplifying the process of preparing for procedures.
- Patient Experience: The custom fit and soft edges provide a more comfortable and less intrusive patient experience.
- Reliable Performance: Stringently tested polyethylene film does not impede instrument function or image clarity
