Dentisan is delighted with the recent release of figures from the British Dental Trade Association (BDTA), showing that Bioclear, their biofilm remover for dental unit water lines which is manufactured at their Derby-based headquarters, was the second largest growing new product launched to the profession in 2011, and the only one in the top ten from the infection control sector.

The figures released annually by the BDTA are compiled by Strategic Data Marketing, and show that water treatment solutions enjoyed year-on-year growth of more than 38% during 2011–2012.

Greater awareness of the problem of biofilm in dental unit water lines has been one of Dentisan's key objectives over the last two years, and now knowledge amongst the profession is good. A recent survey showed that 98% of dentists were aware of the problem of biofilm in relation to dental unit water line contamination.
