Bien-Air has always prioritized provider and patient safety by developing products that protect against cross contamination. With the COVID 19 Pandemic, these features are more important than ever.
The high-speed dental handpiece without anti-retraction valves may aspirate and expel the debris and fluids during the dental procedures. More importantly, the microbes, including bacteria and viruses, may further contaminate air and water hoses within the dental unit, and thus can potentially cause cross-infection.
Bien-Air, being conscious of cross contamination risks, has designed its electric attachments and high-speed air handpieces with anti-retractive valves which protect fluid retraction from the oral cavity into non-sterilizable dental handpiece tubing and water lines. Having an anti-retraction valve in the body of the handpiece, which can be auto-claved, significantly reduces the backflow of oral bacteria and viruses into the non-sterilizable dental unit hoses.
As an extra preventive measure for cross infection, Bien-Air Unifix® couplings are also equipped with a unique anti-retraction features protecting the exhaust air tubing.
