Did you know that Oral BioFilter was created to help NASA astronauts?
NASA discovered they had a big problem in space. Any droplet that comes out of an astronaut’s mouth during a dental procedure stays suspended in the air due to lack of gravity, and if infected with any pathogen, can infect team members, and put the entire mission at risk.
That is why safety in space is even more important and recognizing the urgency to eliminate this risk during dental treatments, dentist Victor Lloro got to work and developed the initial idea for OBF.
Later, in collaboration with Protechno, this device was transformed into something simple, small, and easy to use to solve this problem.
But this problem also exists today in any dental clinic.
During an 8-hour workday in a dental clinic, up to 24 people can be infected. Both patients and the clinic's technical staff are at risk, as well as their family members whom they may embrace when they return home. Are you really protecting your patients, your team, and your loved ones? More than 7 highly contagious diseases are transmitted through aerosols, such as tuberculosis, chickenpox, flu, or COVID.¿Realmente estas protegiendo a tus pacientes, a tu equipo y a tus seres queridos? Más de 7 enfermedades altamente contagiosas se transmiten por aerosoles, como tuberculosis, varicela, gripe o covid.
The OBF puts an end to years of insecurity.
Our purpose is to eliminate the risk of infection that oral health professionals and their patients face every time they undergo a dental procedure that expels aerosols from the patient’s mouth. The OBF attacks the problem from the start, from the peribuccal area where they are generated, blocking the dispersion of the aspirated aerosols.
Clinical studies conducted at the University of Barcelona give it an effectiveness rate of 98.4%.
Everything we do, every new version we release, is done with the utmost safety of patients and oral health professionals in mind. Every process is made guaranteeing the highest hygiene standards and with sanitary materials, which have the approval of the strictest health controls.
