Ultrasound mediated sterlization using ozonated water

所有牙科和医疗保健提供者都必须采取消毒和感染控制措施，以保持健康和安全标准。尤其重要的是要确保内毒素被杀死，以防止术后免疫反应。 目前的灭菌技术效率低下，因为它们涉及许多步骤。 此外，它们成本高，对设备消毒的工作人员构成健康风险，中小型诊所难以每天提供足够的消毒设备。 DeVis技术公司开发了一种系统，使用臭氧结合超声波技术对牙科工具进行消毒。 虽然臭氧化水已被证明在去除废水处理的生物负荷方面是有效的，但所需的臭氧浓度通常非常高。 在这里，超声波技术将与臭氧水相结合，以便在相对较低的臭氧浓度下实现杀菌。

Sterilization and infection control practices are necessary to all dental and healthcare providers in order to maintain health and safety standards. It is particularly important to ensure that endotoxins are killed, to prevent post-surgical immune responses. The current sterilization techniques are inefficient as they involve numerous steps. In addition, they are costly and pose health risks to the staff sterilizing the equipment, and small to medium sized practices have difficulty providing adequate sterilized equipment on a daily basis. DeVis Technologies Inc developed a system to sterilize dental tools using ozone in combination with ultrasound technology. Although ozonated water has been shown to be effective in removing biological loads of waste-water treatment, the required concentration of the ozone is usually very high. Here, ultrasound technology will be combined with ozonated water so that sterilization can be achieved at relatively low ozone concentrations.
