Reduce Splatter and Enhance Infection Control

Pac-Dent’s AntiSplatr™ line of products supports dental infection control and ergonomic efficiency with innovative features, ensuring safer and more effective polishing procedures.

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the importance of stringent infection control measures in dental practices for both practitioners and patients alike, as the dental office was seen as a significant infection transmission zone. Years later, these concerns continue to persist, driving dental professionals to seek innovative solutions and minimize cross-contamination risks for polishing procedures. In response to this growing demand, Pac-Dent continues to innovate its AntiSplatr™ line of products, improving efficiency and providing superior protection during polishing procedures.

New Splatter Fender

The latest iteration of the AntiSplatr™ Disposable Prophy Angle boasts a re­designed splatter fender, a feature crafted to prevent the accumulation of saliva, blood, and prophy paste on the exterior of the prophy cup. This redesign eliminates the need for obtrusive attachments on the angle body and effectively manages fluids, protecting dental professionals and patients from cross-contaminating splatter and creating a safer clinical environment.

In addition to the splatter fender, the prophy cup of the AntiSplatr™ angle features counter-clockwise internal spiral blades, enhancing paste retention and optimizing polishing effectiveness. The precise design of the cup lip and flare enables greater subgingival access, ensuring thorough cleaning of even the most challenging-to-reach areas.

Beyond its primary function of splatter reduction, the splatter fender’s compact design and strategic positioning offer significant ergonomic benefits. Dental professionals often endure physical strain and chronic pain due to repetitive movements and awkward postures. The ergo­nomic design of the prophy angle body mitigates these issues by facilitating optimal reach to hard-to-access posterior areas and improving visibility during procedures.

Mini Version Is Introduced

Pac-Dent introduces further innovation to the splatter-reducing prophy angle category with the Oscillating AntiSplatr™ Mini Disposable Prophy Angle. Through the incorporation of an oscillating spin mechanism, this angle significantly reduces the splatter of prophy paste, saliva, and other body fluids by eliminating unidirectional cleaning. This innovative oscillating motion minimizes noise and provides a smoother polishing experience than traditional unidirectional disposable prophy angles. Moreover, the slim body design enhances visibility and maneuverability during procedures.

Expanding beyond standard soft and firm prophy cup offerings, the Oscillating AntiSplatr™ Mini is available in a tapered brush cup option, allowing hygienists to navigate around challenging areas of patients’ mouths, enabling more effective cleaning procedures for orthodontic patients. Additionally, the combined power of the oscillating motion and brush cup reduces heat generation, facilitating better contact and more effective stain removal from pits and fissures, which allows for improved placement and longevity of pit and fissure sealants.

Pac-Dent’s AntiSplatr™ line of products is designed with the practitioner in mind as it reinforces existing infection control protocols by minimizing fluid transmission through continuous innovation of the prophy angle. By consistently striving to innovate and improve, Pac-Dent supports dental hygienists in delivering exceptional care while upholding the highest standards of safety and hygiene.

Enhance your infection control protocols today with the AntiSplatr™ Disposable Prophy Angle and Oscillating AntiSplatr™ Mini Disposable Prophy Angle, ensuring a safer, more efficient dental practice environment for both practitioners and patients alike.
