The CASPR Group is partnering with 2C MedTech to introduce its disinfection technology to dental offices around the globe. Previously available only to hospitals as an in-duct HVAC product, CASPR Medik is now available to dental offices as an HVAC solution. The portable CASPR Compact Medik also is now available.
CASPR, which stands for continuous air and surface pathogen reduction, originally was developed for hospitals to reduce the risk of healthcare associated infections. Its Medik disinfection technology reacts with water molecules in the air to continuously create oxidizing molecules such as hydrogen peroxide.
These molecules are delivered at safe levels to reduce clinically relevant pathogens, including viruses, the companies said. CASPR also is safe to use in occupied spaces and does not interrupt patient care, the companies added.
“CASPR Medik is a great option for dental offices concerned with reducing air and surface pathogens,” said 2C MedTech CEO Lea Ellermeier. “The new CASPR Compact Medik is plug and play. It is easy to install and virtually silent.”
“When it comes to controlling pathogens associated with dental aerosols, CASPR Medik technology can be a highly effective first line of defense,” said practicing dentist and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention consultant Dr. Margaret Scarlett.
CASPR Medik technology provides:
- Up to 99.96% kill rates of bacteria, viruses, and molds on surfaces
- Continuous air and surface protection
- Safe use in occupied spaces like waiting rooms and operatories
- Effective operation against pathogens, odors, and volatile organic compounds
The CASPR Compact Medik can cover up to 1,50 square feet. It costs $1,850 and is available for pre-order, with shipment expected in mid-August. CASPR in-duct units are priced according to the square footage of the area where they are deployed.
