Patient Health
Single-use masks eliminate the risk of patient-to-patient contamination, making them the best Patient Protective Equipment available on the market.
Patient Comfort
Adjustable and lightweight, the Safe Sedate® mask allows for a secure fit without causing claustrophobic reactions. The mask sits comfortably on the patient’s face with tubing positioned over the top of the head, allowing the patient to move their head from side to side without changing the position of the mask or causing leakage. The masks are available in two sizes: small and large.
Patient Satisfaction
Knowing their sedation mask is single-use and has not been previously used helps patients feel safer and more protected. A comfortable fit and small profile help reduce dental anxiety, allowing you to accomplish more during an appointment.
Office Safety
Be warned that repeated sterilization of traditional nitrous oxide systems creates micro-fractures compromising the integrity of the hoses, allowing gasses to leak into the operatory.
The Safe Sedate® mask was proven in a Purdue University study, published in the Journal of the American Dental Association, to reduce occupational exposure of N2O below the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists threshold limit value of 50 ppm during an eight-hour day as compared to traditional hose and mask systems.
Safe Sedate® eliminates leakage with a patented mask design that has multiple vents creating negative pressure surrounding the patient’s face. Therefore, even gasses exhaled through the mouth are sucked back into the advanced mask system and safely evacuated from the office.
When combined with consistent best work practices, the Safe Sedate® system achieves maximal efficiency.
Capnography Friendly
The eight holes in the mask’s front surface allow for reliably stable placement of an end-tidal CO2 sampling line. By feeding the sampling line along the evacuation tube, a streamlined profile is created, guiding the hoses and lines up over the patient’s head and away from the treatment area.
Office Convenience
The Safe Sedate® mask is intuitive and easy to use. Other nitrous oxide delivery systems are made of multiple pieces that take time to assemble and disassemble (let alone properly sterilize between each patient). The one-piece, single-use Safe Sedate® system is easy to set up and use, and simple to disconnect and dispose of.
Dentist Satisfaction
The mask does not restrict patient movement and is not connected to intrusive hoses. Its slim profile allows for an expanded clinical view. The result? You’ll be able to get close to the patient and position yourself comfortably for maximum efficiency. Additionally, the mask is short enough that it won’t impede access. That means you and your assistant be able to see and access your patient’s mouth without having to navigate obstacles.
In a Dental Product Shopper report, 80% of evaluators would definitely recommend Safe Sedate to colleagues, and 90% rated the system’s ability to reduce occupational exposure as excellent or very good.
A Superior Nitrous Experience
Nitrous oxide with Safe Sedate® enables you to sedate your patients safely, eliminate risks of cross-contamination in the time of COVID, easily perform necessary dental procedures, and accomplish more per patient visit. Your patients will thank you, and so will your staff!
