Hygiene

Hygiene

 All of these are regular procedures we apply for your protection.

  • Instruments and hand pieces autoclaved* after use and stored in sealed pouches, ready for use in fully sterile condition.

  • Use of disposable** items such as gloves, masks, bibs, needles and protective barriers.

  • Surfaces disinfected w/ chemical solutions.

  Medical Hygiene protocols are compulsory by Mexican Health Bureau according w/ worldwide standards.


    *"Autoclaving" is a sterilization procedure by exposing instruments and materials to temperature and steam pressure effective enough to kill bacteria and other infectious microorganisms.

   ** Disposable items such as dental needles are factory sterilized and sealed  to be disposed after one single use. Other disposables like doctor's mask, gloves or suction pipes that cannot be  sterilized are disposed of after each patient. New, clean disposables are used with each client.

   All used sharp items, like scalpels and needles are stored in solid containers to prevent hazard. Other articles like gauzes, cotton rolls, gloves, masks and biological debris are packed in controlled bags. A specialized service collects all of these to proceed to their final process, usually incineration in adequate and remote  facilities.
