Infection control in your practice almost certainly isn’t something you spend a lot of time thinking about. You probably have an old-school steam sterilizer and an infection control process built around it.
And when it comes to cutting costs, improving efficiencies, and maximizing profitability, infection control most likely doesn’t make the top 10 list. That steam sterilizer you have in place “works ok.” Sure, it causes issues now and then. And it’s a bit labor intensive. Distilled water is a hassle. Maintenance costs are more than you’d like. But, steam is all there is. Right?
