Swipe of a Wipe Cleans What Can’t Be Seen

DPS readers rely on SciCan’s OPTIM surface disinfectants to keep their operatories safe and compliant, including the 1-step OPTIM OS1 wipes

Nobody ever cries over spilled milk. It’s just a quick swipe of a wipe and we’re on to the next thing. But in dentistry, just because a surface is clean does not mean it’s disinfected, and “cleaning is the necessary first step of any disinfection process.”* And that’s where OPTIM OS1 wipes step into the picture.

Wipe Away Bacteria in 1 Easy Step

OPTIM OS1 is a 1-step cleaner-disinfectant wipe with superior wettability that removes soil and hard-to-kill organisms. A cost-efficient addition to any practice, the durable wipes clean and disinfect twice the surface area of the leading quats-alcohol wipes with just 1 wipe, and they do so without exposing staff to harmful VOCs or the risk of irritant-induced occupational asthma.¹
Free of fragrance and dyes, OPTIM OS1 wipes feature a proprietary LAS Active System, which combines a powerful surfactant base with fast-acting disinfection to kill over 40 organisms—including bacteria, viruses, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and emerging pathogens—in just 1 minute on hard, nonporous surfaces.

“The LAS Active System sounds like a complex chemical process, but it’s actually very simple yet brilliant,” shared Marie T. Fluent, DDS, CDIPC, FACD, a dental infection control consultant who has a clever way of describing LAS.

“ …OPTIM OS1 wipes the entire micelle away, cleaning and disinfecting in just 1 motion.”

“When a fly touches a Venus flytrap plant, the trap shuts, and the plant secretes an enzyme to kill and digest the insect,” she explained. “With the LAS Active System, when the surfactant molecule encounters a debris or microorganism on the surface, the tail of the molecule entraps the debris by forming a micelle, and then penetrates the bacterial cell membrane to kill the bacteria. Then, OPTIM OS1 wipes the entire micelle away, cleaning and disinfecting in just 1 motion.

Clean & Disinfect with Confidence

Most practices encounter a wide range of microorganisms every day—none of which can be seen by the naked eye.

“If a wipe can kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as is the case with OPTIM OS1, it will also kill other microorganisms team members are likely to encounter on surfaces,” said Dr. Fluent. “That’s because other viruses, bacteria, and fungi generally require lesser contact times to be effective.”

Emphasizing the value of SciCan’s expertise in the infection control space, Dr. Fluent recalled when SciCan rep Christina Masengale helped a practice prioritize safety and ensure compliance. “I was blown away with her familiarity with the office and choke points within their protocols. I knew that I could trust her to make the most informed decisions for this practice,” she shared.

Reconditioned used units validated and spore tested with one year warranty

Ultra-fast 6 minute unwrapped cycle
14 minute wrapped cycle
Exceptional instrument turnover
10 minute Dri-Tec^c Drying Technology
Aseptic transfer of instrument directly to the point-of-use
Reduced instrument investment
Prolongs instrument life

The STATIM 2000 Classic boasts a 6-minute cycle, but has the added advantage of employing a fully removable chamber so you can aseptically transport a set of freshly sterilized instruments directly to the procedure area.

The STATIM 2000 is fully automatic. Simply select one of the three sterilization programs and with a single touch of the keypad, begin the cycle. An advanced microprocessor controls all functions and maintains optimal sterilization conditions, from start to finish.

SciCan's STATIM cassette sterilizers have a biological effectiveness that has been proven in tests for hollow and solid instruments at many internationally recognized institutes in Canada, the United States, and Europe.

The STATIM 2000 is a reliable cassette sterilizer that's compact enough to fit in procedure areas and fast enough to sterilize jewelry, expensive Lasik, PRK, endoscopic and cataract instruments, including phaco handpieces, between procedures - it can complete an unwrapped sterilization cycle in just six minutes and a wrapped cycle in 14 minutes.

Dri-TecC – Convection heat drying technology

The STATIM 2000 uses convection heat to dry instruments by utilizing the remaining heat in the system after the sterilization phase. Heat is captured and released into the cassette, drying wrapped instrument loads in as little as 10 minutes.
