Judy Bendit, RDH, on BioGuard
Born and raised in dentistry, I have over 45 years of experience as a national speaker, author, and clinician. In these roles, I am always looking for the latest to help the clinical practice. As a biologic enzymatic material, BioGuard dissolves fluoride varnish in the suction lines and eliminates prophy paste buildup in the chairside trap. There is no other product out there that works like it.
BioGuard biologic vacuum system cleaner uses bacterial enzymes with continuous cleaning ability. It not only dissolves debris, but continues to consume it. The liquid formula mixes easily and is dispensed through pre-measured packets, saving staff time and effort.
How does it improve the workflow?
It is designed to be only used twice per week. You do not have to flush your lines daily, which saves time at the end of the day and during room setup. However, if you do wish to flush your lines between patients, use tap water.
What is unique about BioGuard?
While its enzymatic activity softens the bioburden, the biologic portion is active bacteria that then clears the bioburden, working continuously.
What other features do you like?
Its specially designed dispenser incorporates air while cleaning to give more turbulence in canister, which automatically mixes the cleaner.
