The new disposable dental kit from Henry Schein represents revolution in health and safety standards for dentists treating patients who present a high risk of infection. The kit comprises a tray with a range of disposable instruments, including a stainless steel tipped probe, tweezers and a mirror, along with a patient bib, napkin, two cotton rolls and two ear loop masks. All the items are bio-degradable except the mirror, which can be given to the patient as a souvenir. Using the kit naturally eliminates the need for sterilising instruments after use, which has substantial cost and time-saving benefits. The small, sterile package is stackable for convenient storage and is sold in boxes with a minimum of 50 kits per box.
