Paradigm tidy up

Paradigm manufacturing is pleased to announce the new Task Bin system. It allows groups of small components to be stored just outside the clinical area.

Paradigm claims the task bin allows dentists or nurses to be able to retrieve items quickly and efficiently when required and can be placed in their rightful place just as easily.

The Task Bins can be taken out of the storage cabinet and taken into surgery where all the items are collected and slotted into a chairside drawer. Paradigm claims this simple but effective approach enhances the working environment.

Voyager goes where no one's been before...

Voyager-II L is the dental system for the 21st century. Its unique control system and cuspidor can be pivoted either side of the dental chair. This enables either a left or right handed dentist or surgery assistant to work effectively.

The new flexi-arm with assistant's instrumentation also ensures perfect single or four-handed use. Effective infection control is paramount and the porcelain bowl has been designed with this in mind. For more information visit the website at www.takara.co.uk.

Saddle style comfort from Bambach

The Bambach Saddle Seat was designed by Mary Gale, a keen horsewoman, using the principles of the horse rider's position in the saddle.

Bambach claims the saddle seat supports the spine to provide an upright posture and still allows freedom of movement to the shoulders. In this position the spine is free to assume its natural curve, helping balance and relieving back pain. Users are encouraged to sit straighter and taller, in effect uncurling the body.

The design of the seat allows great versatility in use. The height is adjustable, enabling the sitter's feet to remain firmly on the floor with legs placed apart to give stability to the pelvis. The seat itself is on castors, which provides the dental team with the mobility they require. For information on the Bambach Saddle Seat call 0208 7877051.
