Dentistry has been a front runner in infection control measures in healthcare. This is especially important at the moment when we are faced with many challenges in a COVID pandemic.
To ensure high levels of infection control, plastic barriers and disinfecting wipes are commonly used between patients, to ensure all our instruments and equipments can be properly cleansed and disinfected when they are not able to fit into hospital grade autoclaves.
However, during a time of deteriorating climate change, these plastic barriers can add further burden to an already fatigued environment.
That is why at Dental Harmony, we choose to use Bioprotect plastics for all our infection control barriers. Bioprotect products are made of oxobiodegradable soft plastic barriers that break down completely in landfill within 1- 2 years.
This way, we can be certain that we are not only protecting our patients but we are also looking after our environment.
