Dental practice safety demands processes and products designed to shield everyone from harm, and the MaxiWipe family of disinfecting wipes is designed to do just that
Karen Dong, RDH, called it when she said, “Maintaining high-quality infection control protocols is extremely important, as they not only protect patients but also clinicians.” Without appropriate protocols in place—including evidence-based disinfection processes and high-quality products to maintain them—you risk the health of everyone who enters and works in your practice.
Surface disinfectants play a key role in practice safety. They support the elimination of debris and pathogens and help prevent cross-contamination that can occur when clinicians touch one surface or piece of equipment and then touch another.
Dong places overall effectiveness at quickly destroying pathogens at the top of her must-have list when selecting disinfectant products, such as wipes. She also wants a product that won’t harm surfaces and equipment.
Finding disinfecting wipes that meet those requirements isn’t as difficult as you might think. Henry Schein Products offers 2 disposable disinfecting wipes that check all hygienists' boxes.
Speedy Destruction
Time is of the essence when turning over an operatory. If you can’t get the job done efficiently, you risk delaying appointments and leaving patients with a negative feeling about your practice. However, ineffective disinfection puts patients and team members at risk.
Henry Schein Products’ MaxiWipe family of disinfecting wipes knows how to accomplish both.
With a 1-minute contact time to combat SARS-CoV-2 and tuberculosis on hard nonporous surfaces and a 2-minute overall contact time to eliminate bacteria and viruses such as hepatitis, HIV-1, and influenza A, MaxiWipe Germicidal Disposable Wipes and its quaternary ammonium and isopropyl alcohol formula work thoroughly and quickly. As does MaxiWipe Alcohol-Free Wipes; its quaternary ammonium formula provides an overall 3-minute contact time to combat bacteria, viruses, and tuberculosis. The wipes also have a low-streak formula that’s free of fragrance, alcohol, bleach, acid, phenol, acetone, and ammonia.
In describing her experience with MaxiWipe Alcohol-Free Wipes, Dong said, “With just 1 sheet, I can wipe down all contaminated areas in my operatory. This approach conserves time and also optimizes the number of wipes I use.”
MaxiWipe Germicidal Cloths offer similar fast-acting effectiveness with a 1-minute kill time for SARS-CoV-2 and tuberculosis on hard nonporous surfaces. In 2 minutes, these cloths eliminate various bacteria and viruses—a total of 26 pathogens.
Surface Safety
You’ve invested a lot of money in equipment and technology to advance your practice and provide patients with a high level of care. The last thing you want is to damage that equipment with an incompatible disinfecting wipe.
Henry Schein designed MaxiWipe products for safe use with various materials. You can safely use MaxiWipe Germicidal Cloths and Wipes with a range of surfaces, including stainless steel, plastic, Formica, and glass. MaxiWipe Alcohol-Free Wipes are ideal for use on equipment that might be sensitive to alcohol.
The Complete Package
Protecting patients, protecting team members, and protecting surfaces and equipment—the MaxiWipe trio of surface disinfectants appears to have hit the trifecta. They offer everything you could want in a disinfecting wipe, including speed, compatibility, and effectiveness.
