Safe Sedate® Nitrous Mask System
Unlike traditional N2O hoods and hoses which require labor-intensive cleaning and disinfecting between uses, single-use Safe Sedate® masks eliminate all potential sources of cross-contamination between patients – without the need for sterilization.
The Safe Sedate® system delivers nitrous oxide with precision, and it then evacuates residual gas that can expose you and your team to unnecessary risks significantly better than other systems (citation). Use once, then dispose of the tubes and mask when the appointment is finished.
Patient health
Single-use Safe Sedate® eliminates all risk of contamination between patients, which is more critical than ever. The single-use nature of this delivery system places it among the best Patient Protective Equipment on the market!
Patient Comfort
Lightweight and adjustable, the Safe Sedate® mask provides a secure fit, preventing claustrophobic patient reactions. The tubing goes over the head, not awkwardly to the side of the patient’s face, which allows them to comfortably move their head without altering the position of the mask or causing leakage.
Patient Assurance
According to a recent study commissioned by the North American Dental Group (NADG), 77% of respondents expressed a high concern for personal health and safety during the Covid-19 pandemic.
By using the single-use Safe Sedate® mask, in combination with all of the rigorous new cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing protocols you’ve put in place, your patients will feel more confident in their health and safety.
Office Safety
Repeated chemical or steam sterilization of traditional nitrous oxide systems may create micro-fractures compromising the integrity of the hoses. Be aware that this can result in harmful levels of gasses to leak into the operatory.
In a Purdue University study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association, the Safe Sedate® mask was proven to reduce occupational exposure of N2O below the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists threshold limit value of 50 ppm as compared to traditional masks and hoses during an eight-hour day.
Single-use Safe Sedate® products significantly reduce leakage with a patented mask design that includes multiple vents creating negative pressure surrounding the patient’s face. Therefore, when gasses are exhaled through the mouth, they’re sucked back into the advanced mask system and safely evacuated from the office.
Doctor Satisfaction
The Safe Sedate® mask doesn’t restrict patient movement and it isn’t connected to intrusive hoses. The slim profile design allows for an expanded clinical view, which means you’ll be able to get close to the patient and comfortably position yourself for maximum efficiency. Additionally, the mask is short enough so it won’t impede access, meaning you and your assistant will be able to see and access your patient’s mouth without obstacles.
A notable 80% of evaluators in a Dental Product Shopper report said they would definitely recommend Safe Sedate® to colleagues, and 90% rated the system’s ability to reduce occupational N2O exposure as excellent or very good.
Capnography Friendly
The mask’s front surface includes eight holes which allow for reliably stable placement of an end-tidal CO2 sampling line. When running the sampling line along the evacuation tube, a streamlined profile is created, guiding the hoses up over the patient’s head and out of the way from the treatment area.
Staff Convenience
The Safe Sedate® mask is intuitive and user-friendly. While other nitrous oxide delivery systems consist of multiple pieces that take time to assemble and disassemble (not to mention sterilize properly between patients), the one-piece, single-use Safe Sedate® system is simple to set up and use, and easy to disconnect and dispose of.
Grow Your Practice
The National Institute of Health (NIH) reports that approximately 15% of the population avoids or declines dental treatment due to anxiety. Administering nitrous oxide with Safe Sedate® nasal masks enables you to sedate your patients and easily provide necessary treatment. By helping anxious patients relax in your chair, you can accomplish more per visit and make your practice more efficient.
The Solution is Simple
Safe Sedate® is an innovative, single-use, complete nitrous mask and N2O delivery system that removes cross-contamination, saves money, and is proven to reduce occupational exposure. What are you waiting for?
