Michelle Strange, RDH, a solo clinician shares how she uses the Isolite's continuous HVE suction as a part of her aerosol reduction strategy.
Isolite Mouthpieces significantly reduce droplets (spatter, splatter, spray) and aerosols by using continuous suction driven by the HVE. This intra-oral evacuation limits infection spread and helps hygiene teams feel more comfortable using polishers and ultrasonic scalers for cleaning, root planing and scaling.
The Isolite Pro provides a hygienist with the assistant they deserve by providing illumination, isolation, retraction, and continuous suction so they can work on two dry quadrants at the same time without having to stop to suction during a procedure. If an extra human assistant is used, it could cost a practice $36-$40k a year per hygienist. However, when the Isolite is used, procedure time decreases and ROI increases.
Studies show that when an Isolite system is used in a procedure it significantly decreases chair time which increases the overall productivity of your practice.
Imagine freeing up to 15 hours per week, simply by using the Isolite Pro. That extra time could allow you to add additional patient visits and boost your practice's production. It could allow your team the time to exercise more in-depth infection control or get a jump on preparing for the next day.
