- A disposable digital X-ray sensor sheath specifically designed for PaloDEx Group (Instrumentarium/Soredex) Size 2 sensors
Uses
- Infection Control:
- Serves as a single-use hygienic barrier for intraoral digital X-ray sensors to prevent the transfer of saliva, blood, and other contaminants between patients
- Equipment Protection:
- Shields expensive digital sensors from the harmful effects of harsh chemical disinfectants, helping to extend the lifespan of the imaging equipment
- Routine Dental Imaging:
- Utilized during standard dental exams where intraoral sensors must be placed inside the patient's mouth.
Features
- Custom Fit:
- Specifically engineered for PaloDEx Size 2 sensors, ensuring a snug fit that prevents the sensor from sliding and reduces excess plastic bulk
- Soft, Rounded Edges:
- Designed to minimize sharp points or edges that could cause discomfort or "poking" in the patient's mouth
- Easy-Peel Outer Wrapping:
- Each sheath is individually wrapped with a unique peel-away layer that protects the inner sleeve from contamination until the moment of use
- Latex-Free Material:
- Constructed from polyethylene film that is safe for patients with latex allergies
- Clear Visibility:
- The film is stringently tested to ensure it does not impede the sensor's function or the quality of the X-ray image
Benefits
- Patient Comfort:
- The customized fit and smooth edges provide a more comfortable experience for the patient compared to "one-size-fits-all" baggy sheaths
- Clinical Efficiency:
- The individually wrapped, easy-peel design allows dental professionals to quickly and hygienically prepare the sensor for the next procedure
- Cost Savings:
- By reducing the need for aggressive surface disinfection of the sensor itself, these sheaths help prevent physical damage and electrical failure over time
