Over the past two years COVID 19 has seen us increasing the number of times we sanitise our hands and around us, how far we should stand from one another, and even how we greet one another by bumping elbows. Although we have put in place all these precautions, there are some practises and activities that we cannot safeguard against without the proper equipment. Such as visiting the dentist.
During aerosol dentistry applications, water droplets and particles are released into the air that can be inhaled by the patient, the dentist and other staff causing respiratory infections. These airborne hazards are released during aerosol work on a patient and can easily be inhaled by someone, therefore spreading germs and illnesses. A solution to eradicate this type of spreading of illnesses is the installation of an at-source extraction unit.
The aerosol extraction solution
Envirox, supplier of quality Nederman fume extraction units, believes that the best solution for this type of extraction is the Nederman FX2 arms range. This range includes efficient, small and manoeuvrable units which are perfect for use within a small setting such as a dentist’s room, and it can be mounted to the wall, ceiling or work bench manoeuvring 360° allowing the dentist to position it out of the way until it is needed. The Nederman FX2 range is an at-source extraction arm which provides the highest possibility of extraction of airborne contaminants bringing peace of mind to the dentist that his practice is safe and hygienic.
All FX2 Extraction Arms are supplied standard with a mini hood which can then connect to other hoods such as the ergonomically designed combi hood, the dome hood, the flange hood and the metal hood irrespective of the arm size. The Nederman FX2 arms are available in self-assembly kits, the Nederman Bench Top Extraction kits, also supplied by Envirox. These kits include arms with a hood or nozzle, a fan with speed control and a standard filter, hose, connectors and table bracket, and there is no need for a duct.
