Jackie Dorst - Hu-FriedyDoes your orthodontic office need an Extreme Sterilization Makeover or an update and reorganization? Are you building a new office? Busy orthodontic practices clean and sterilize 600 to 1000 instruments every day. The ortho sterilization area must be organized and have the right equipment to ensure sterile instruments for each patient visit. An in-efficient instrument sterilization room slows down the clinical team. When the sterilization space is too small, counter tops cluttered, cabinet storage limited, and the clinical team is frustrated - it's time for a sterilization makeover! With real ortho office photos, Jackie will show you how to de-clutter, organize and maximize space for efficiency. You will learn the 3 Basic Principles of Sterilization Design.

Jackie will review the best components for orthodontic instrument sterilization then she will put it all together when she "Moves that Bus!" |
