New tray lid with secure seal from DUX Dental provides infection control protection

DUX Dental has introduced a tray cover with secure seal to its line of office organization products to help oral care professionals create a safe environment for practitioners and patients.

Utilizing a tray cover is critical to upholding infection control standards in the oral healthcare environment because it allows dental professionals and orthodontists to cover instruments when moving them to the sterilization area.

“I utilize a tray cover for all of my trays,” says Noel Brandon-Kelsch, registered dental hygienist in alternative practice (RDHAP). "The new DUX Dental tray lids have the added benefit of snapping into place. The secure seal allows me to transport the tray safely and securely from the operatory after patient care, which protects dental professionals and patients from any cross contamination or accidents."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, it is required that trays be covered when being transported to the sterilization area in an office.

The DUX Dental Tray Cover with Secure Seal is compatible with the company’s Size B Flat and Size B Divided dental trays and will stay sealed if accidentally dropped. The tray cover with secure seal is transparent and available for order at www.DUXDental.com.
