Reprocessing of dental nitrous oxide sedation systems

Where phobic patients have to be treated with laughing gas, reprocessing reusable double hoses and masks presents an additional challenge.

Miele now offers a space-saving solution in the form of a new system able to accommodate up to five double hose sets. The hoses are connected using adapters to the injector nozzles and routed past all the other inserts in a slightly inclined holder. This ensures reliable cleaning and drying of all internal and external surfaces. A matching mesh tray is available for reprocessable patients' masks. This leaves sufficient space for lumened items, e.g. transmission instruments, and further items in the same cycle, hence this approach does not interfere with general reprocessing.
