CARLSBAD, California--Hayes Handpiece has announced the offering of instrument maintenance training in cities across the country.
Most of the company's 85 locations wil provide free instrument processing service to dentists and oral surgeons in a 30-minute lunch-and-learn format. One free CE credit is also available to maintenance demo attendees through a partnership with Dentrek.
The Hayes instrument processing demo is designed to take the guesswork out of maintaining hygiene and surgical instruments—everything from scalers and explorers to forceps and scissors.
Hayes representatives review maintenance steps recommended by instrument manufacturers, such as proper ultrasonic cleaning, lubrication, and sterilization procedures, as well as CDC guidelines pertaining to instrument infection control. In addition, Hayes representatives evaluate which instruments need to be sharpened or replaced.
“We have made instrument maintenance training a priority because, as a repair company, we can clearly see how offices that perform proper maintenance are protecting their investment and getting more life out of their instruments,” explained Joe Hayes, CEO of Hayes Handpiece Company. “Those who do not have a good maintenance protocol in place have instruments that wear out, corrode, or have to be replaced prematurely.”
Hayes has partnered with Miltex Instruments to offer customers quality instruments when replacement is necessary.
To schedule instrument maintenance training, contact a local Hayes handpiece office.
