Clinical waste management and infection control expert Initial Medical is now supplying peppermint scented gloves to the dental sector.

Prolonged glove use and repeated hand washing can cause the skin to become dry and chapped, making those working in the dental industry more susceptible to dermatitis. Unigloves Green LANO-E gloves, available from Initial Medical, contain a microfilm of lanolin and vitamin E to soothe and soften the skin on the hands of the wearer.

Designed specifically for the dental market, Unigloves Green LANO-E gloves provide the very highest protection, while having the added benefit of being peppermint scented to increase patient experience – helping to reassure them they are being examined in a clean, safe environment. With a fully textured surface for increased grip, the gloves are 100% latex, low allergy and rated medical grade AQL 1.5.

Initial Medical is also marketing two water line cleaners for dental practitioners. Sterisil Citrisil and Citrisil Blue tablets continuously disinfect and maintain dental water lines. Using distilled or purified tap water, these tablets effervesce to provide a safe, pH balanced treatment.

The Sterisil Straw and Antimicrobial Bottle is the perfect solution for transitioning from daily tablets to a single yearly change out. The Sterisil Straw works 365 days to continuously disinfect dental unit water lines and provide safe and clean water.
