NewGenn® in the dental sector

The Dental sector provides an interesting infection control challenge as the work is often invasive and exposure to blood is common. The rapid throughput of patients, combined with the age variation of patients, adds further challenges. But unlike hospitals where they can afford infection control experts, the dental practice will probably have someone inexperienced in the field just doing the best they can.

There is a new answer that can be introduced within current budgets using existing staff numbers, an answer developed in collaboration with Dental Microbiologists.

Introducing a Systems Approach is the key. Most people accept that computer systems need to be based on compatible component products, and the same applies with infection control. Infection control products have traditionally been purchased on the basis of well-known supplier brand names but many established branded products commonly used in dentistry are incompatible with other branded products so the infection control aspect is destroyed. The practice is left with an ineffective infection control policy and infections can occur.

The NewGenn? mission statement includes the phrase "products that are effective in real life situations". Few companies have that phrase in their mission statement, an interesting omission when the risk of litigation following infection is so high.

Greatest confidence can only be achieved by purchasing infection control products from companies that utilise a proven systems approach.
