At the centre of the quality of your work Patient Comfort Long-term comfort is of fundamental importance, as surgery procedures can be long-lasting.

It has been shown that turbines atomise about 400,000 particles per minute, which mainly distribute in a circular space of 3 metre diameter around the source. This involves about 70% of the operators in an area from the head to the chest.

In a very high percentage, implants are applied in a conventional environment, i.e. with the patient seated on a traditional chair. This setting shows a number of ergonomic problems, the first of which is the access to instruments. INSTRUMENT ORDER AND POSITIONING ■ First of all, the use of a conventional bridge table is difficult, or even impossible, under a traditional chair equipped with cuspidor. ■ In such a conventional environment, the instruments are positioned on different surfaces, far from one another: on the tray under the over-the-patient instrument unit, on the worktops of back or...
