We proudly fulfil the highest requirements of sterility and desinfection. We use high performance computerised autoclaves for and sterilization.
The automatic programs, the high pressure steam and the high-temperature take care to kill all germs.
Handpieces are no exception: by sterilizing them between patients we realize the state-of-the standards.
No high-tech autoclave does the job perfectly unless constantly tested: we keep account of this.
The high-tech aplliances run short programs in complete silence thus allowing the staff to use the sterile instruments again after only 20 minutes.
