Dove Dental Products recently launched a hybrid device to reduce the risk of aerosol movement caused by instrument use to combat the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19.
The single-use product, Dove Aero, addresses three key components critical to disease spread: evacuation, backflow and aerosol management. Dove said it is the first product to address all three components without compromising patient experience or altering dental practices.
Dove Aero combines high-volume ejector suction with a saliva ejector for one-way backflow. It also features a patented external aerosol chamber that manages up to 95 percent of airborne particles when combined with internal fluid evacuation, Dove said in a May 11 news release.
