Hygiene has always been a sensitive topic in dental practice. Here at KaVo we are conscious of our responsibility, and therefore for decades we have been developing solutions that make tasks in the practice safer and easier for everyone involved.
And since we know how important the time factor and efficiency are in practical operation, in all our developments we keep in mind that hygiene in your practice must not only be reliable, but must also be easy and efficient to implement from beginning to end.
The topic of hygiene has played a role at KaVo since the 1920s. At this time the first sterilizable handpieces were developed, and thus at this early point offered the doctor and the patient better protection from infection.
Ready to use with safety, thanks to intelligent hygiene functions.
Safety for your patients and for you: that is our top priority. Therefore, functions such as the instrument flushing function according to RKI make efficient cleaning the purest pleasure. In addition, automated processes save valuable time and guarantee lasting operational reliability of your treatment unit.
Clean solutions
For us, hygiene already starts with material quality and processing. High-quality, easy to clean surfaces with minimal gap dimensions therefore are prerequisite for enduringly safe and hygienic operation.
For easy cleaning, important parts of the equipment, such as the instrument holder, can be effortlessly removed.
To prevent any dirt from penetrating into your treatment unit, all upper and lower parts of the housing are completely self-contained.
For longer downtimes of more than 4 weeks, please repeat the intensive sterilisation process every 4 weeks. If the last intensive disinfection has taken place over a week ago, repeat the process on the first day on which the treatment is to be resumed. Schedule approx. 45 minutes for this procedure.
The treatment unit hygiene concept informs you of the hygiene measures: after treatment, in the morning, in the evening, weekly, as needed.
Maintenance plan KaVo uniQa Maintenance plan ESTETICA & Primus
This hygiene concept contains only the essential operating functions. It does not contain the Instructions for Use or the Care and Cleaning Schedule, which are part of the delivery. These absolutely must be followed to avoid problems and damage.
With the foot control, hygiene takes care of itself.
There is hardly any more effective way to prevent cross-infections than avoiding contact. Therefore you can control the patient chair and instruments of your KaVo treatment unit completely using the foot control, in other words, you do not need to touch your dentist's element during the treatment. With the wireless foot control there is not even a cable that needs to be cleaned.
Illumination for reliable hygiene
The KaVoLUX 540 LED not only supplies the highest-quality natural white light, but it is also best suited for reliable hygiene in practice thanks to the contactless operation.
Even the COMPOsave mode of the KaVoLUX 540 LED can be switched on and off without contact as necessary.
The closed housing with smooth surfaces and the removable hand grips offer even more hygienic benefits.
