The safety of your clinicians and patients is of paramount importance, so you should be doing everything you can to make your dental practice as safe as possible. With the Ultra Safety Plus Twist you can reduce needle stick injuries in your dental practice immediately.
The Ultra Safety Plus Twist is Septodont’s latest disposable local anaesthetic syringe. It is also a needle stick injury prevention device that is designed to be even easier to use than the previous model, the Ultra Safety Plus.
Despite the fact that it is easy to safeguard your staff and patients from needle stick injuries, not all dental practices have made the switch to this easier, much safer system. With this in mind, Septodont now offer online CPD training for dental practitioners to bring themselves up to date with the new system.
We all occasionally fumble what we are holding. Usually this is harmless, but when holding a needle or syringe, there is a risk of injury. To try and reduce the chances of needle stick injuries, this safety system includes a new and improved locking mechanism in the handle and syringe.
As well as this, the same features that made the Ultra Safety Plus great all remain:
The Ultra Safety Plus Twist also adheres to the Safer Sharps Law and can help your dental surgery employ best practice of using ‘single use disposable local anaesthetic delivery syringes that incorporate a mechanism to protect against accidental injury’.
It is essential to take every precaution to protect your staff from needlestick injuries, which occur when needles accidentally puncture the skin. These injuries are a significant risk to healthcare workers, as they can transmit blood-borne viruses such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has published guidance on the safe use of sharps in healthcare settings. As a dental practitioner, it's your responsibility to ensure that your staff are safe, trained, and that every precaution is taken when dealing with needles.
The consequences of a needlestick injury can be severe, including infections, chronic illness, and even death. These injuries can also have a significant impact on the mental health and wellbeing of staff. By taking every precaution to protect staff from needlestick injuries, you not only protect the health and wellbeing of your staff, but you also protect the financial stability of your practice.
Be smart, invest in the Septodont Ultra Safety Plus Twist today, and do everything you can do minimise the risk of needle stick injuries to your staff.
