The new Smartbrush from Microbrush

Microbrush International Ltd is pleased to introduce the new Smartbrush Classic Disposable Applicators. The new Smartbrush has a shorter, thinner handle and is individually wrapped in a plastic sleeve.

Microbrush International claims the new Smartbrush Classic greatly reduces the risk of cross contamination and allows the dental practitioner to safely bend the tip without touching the fibres with latex gloves.

They also say that if the latex comes into contact with the fibres, it will remain behind, contaminating the solution being applied. The Smartbrush Classic applicators will be available in regular, fine and superfine sizes and are packed in 4 individual boxes containing 100 applicators each.
