Instrumental for effective cleaning
Dürr Dental has a range of hygiene products suitable for disinfecting instruments. Its ID 212 is suitable for general instrument cleaning as well as rotating instruments that are sensitive to alkali and alcohol. For cleaning rotary instruments there’s ID220, an aldehyde-free disinfectant that also boasts extraordinary cleaning properties as well as a wide range of action. Dürr Dental also manufactures its own disinfectant box made of tough polypropylene that can be used to disinfect various instruments. Dürr Dental has four types
of hygiene products. All are conveniently colour coded to identify each product’s application – blue for instruments, green for surfaces, pink for skin and hands, and yellow for special areas such as suction systems and amalgam separators.
