Mydent introduces new lubricant

April 21, 2005
Tests show lubricating ability of DEFEND® Ster-L Autoclavable Handpiece Lubricant is more than 10 times greater than similar products.

Mydent International, a leader in infection control and evacuation products, disposables, and impression material systems, has announced the introduction of DEFEND® Ster-L Autoclavable Handpiece Lubricant.

Ster-L's lubricating ability is more than 10 times greater than similar products. In tests, after six hours Ster-L did not evaporate and continued to lubricate, aiding in protecting against turbine failure. Ster-L is not soluble in water and is less likely to corrode. In addition, Ster-L is extremely economical.

The synthetic hydrocarbons in Ster-L provide an increased temperature range of 485F to -85F degrees. Ster-L is not an aerosol, so O rings will not dry out. It also surpasses manufacturers' requirements for lubrication, so warranties remain valid. Ster-L is available in two 2-ounce non-aerosol applicator bottles per kit.

Mydent International, home to DEFEND® infection control and evacuation products, disposables, and impression material systems, provides dependable solutions for defensive healthcare. Mydent urges healthcare professionals to: DEFEND®. Be smart. Be safe. For more information on Mydent International and its products, call 800-275-0020, or go to www.defend.com
