NEWBERG, Ore., Sept. 10,
2013 –
A-dec has partnered with Medicom®
for the SafeShield™, a disposable barrier to
give A-dec LED dental light owners added convenience and ease to protect and preserve
the light head’s shield.
Exclusively
designed for the A-dec LED, SafeShield gives dental teams a quick “on and off” application
for a clean and scratch-free lens.
As
a disposable barrier, replacement is recommended once per week, or whenever the
light may need cleaning. Consistent, routine applications help protect the
light shield from debris and scratches — including those caused by sharps. The
SafeShield’s durable transparent material adheres securely without compromising
the light’s optical fidelity.
“The
Medicom SafeShield not only supports
treatment room asepsis; it also protects the doctor’s investment,” says A-dec Clinical
Product Manager Alan Grobey. “SafeShield offers a routine, cost-effective way to
preserve and extend the life of the A-dec LED.”
Every
A-dec LED dental light and LED upgrade kit gets shipped with a starter pack of
two SafeShield barriers. Doctors can order packs of 10 via an authorized
Medicom distributor. Retail price is around $19.95 (MSRP). SafeShield packs are
not available for purchase through A-dec or Medicom directly.
The
A-dec LED dental light was introduced in 2012 to widespread favor, touted for
its illumination, shadow reduction, ergonomic control, low-heat emission, and sleek
unencumbered design. The light is the recipient of distinguished honors such as
The Dental Advisor’s Editors’ Choice
Award, IDEA Silver from the International Designers Society of America, the
international Red Dot design award, and 2012 Best New Product for Women voted
by the American Association of Women Dentists (AAWD).
Like
A-dec, A.R. Medicom Inc. is a global leader. The manufacturer and distributor
of high-quality infection control and barrier products is based in Montreal,
Quebec.
