Ensure the Safety and Comfort of Your Patients
DryShield isolation systems provide protection from harmful aerosols while saving time and money.
The DryShield system combines the tasks of a high-suction evacuator, saliva ejector, bite block, tongue shield, and oral pathway protector. Made of soft, flexible material, it conforms to a patient’s mouth, making for a more comfortable procedure. It’s so easy to use that dental hygienists can reduce patient stress and chair time during procedures such as scaling and root planing (SRP) and air polishing.
While greatly reducing the emission of harmful aerosols, DryShield also lowers the amount of time spent on procedures by up to 40%, allowing you more opportunity to educate your patients.
