Barrier Film and Probe Sleeves for Surface Infection Control

Some surfaces in the operatory get touched constantly during a procedure but are awkward to wipe down and disinfect between every patient, from light handles to monitor screens and equipment buttons. Barrier film solves that by providing a thin, adhesive plastic covering that’s applied before the patient sits down and peeled off and replaced once they leave, rather than requiring a full surface disinfection cycle on hardware that’s difficult to spray directly.

The curing light probe sleeve applies the same barrier concept to a specific piece of equipment, slipping over the light probe to keep it from making direct contact with a patient’s mouth during curing. Both products let a practice protect equipment surfaces without wearing down finishes from repeated disinfectant use, while still turning the operatory over quickly between appointments. 3D Dental stocks barrier film and probe sleeves together in this category for practices covering the full range of touch surfaces.
