It is a fact AIDS and Hepatitis can be transmitted through dental handpieces that are improperly sterilized.  Numerous articles and news stories concerning the transfer of AIDS and Hepatitis through the dental handpiece have been publicized.  OSHA, ADA, and FDA all recommend sterilization between patients.  In fact, if the dental office is not properly sterilizing and OSHA examines the office, they could close them down immediately.   In addition, the dental office could be assessed a substantial penalty.

Cost is the main reason dentists don't always sterilize between patients. Autoclaving, prior to the STERI-LUBE® process, has always ruined handpieces.   Heat, water, steam, and chemicals deteriorate the metal parts of the handpiece, especially the expensive intricate turbine assembly.  A handpiece repair costs between $100.00 and $200.00, and if the dentist sterilizes between every patient the need for repairs to the handpiece skyrockets.  In fact, some dentists are even repairing their own handpieces.  STERI-LUBE® puts a stop to this madness.

Because of the inherent problems in sterilizing handpieces, Steri-Lube International, Ltd. has designed a new autoclave process for the dental handpiece. After two years of extensive testing, Steri-Lube® designed a lubricant process that could be used in any sterilization system for dental handpiece and did not require a special autoclave.  We decided to begin marketing the new process direct to the dentist under the name of STERI-LUBE®.

STERI-LUBE® enhances and protects the internal parts of the handpiece.  STERI-LUBE® actually treats the metal with every use just as a superb preservative would be used in the treatment and preservation of expensive leather.  As previously stated, our lubricant can be used in any type of autoclave sterilization system.

The STERI-LUBE® sterilization process for the dental handpiece is efficient and easy to use.  Our marketing is aimed at encouraging the dentist to sterilize between every patient at a cost savings to their present sterilization procedure.
