Dental bibs are common consumables in dental clinics and hospitals. They are mainly used to protect patients' clothing from contamination during treatment and to maintain the hygiene of the treatment environment. Disposable dental pads usually have a variety of specifications and materials. Below I will introduce the relevant parameters, purchase points, uses, and quality judgment of dental pads in detail.
1. Common specifications and types of dental pads
• Specifications:
o Common size: 40cm x 50cm or 45cm x 50cm, which is a relatively standard size and suitable for most dental treatment environments.
o Depending on the needs of patients, there may be customized products of different sizes or cuts.
• Material:
o 3-layer structure: generally composed of two layers of paper and one layer of film. The outer layer of paper is generally non-woven fabric or toilet paper, and the inner layer of film is usually a waterproof film, which can effectively prevent liquid penetration.
o 2-layer structure: composed of one layer of paper and one layer of film, suitable for general cleaning needs, without strong waterproofing needs.
o Waterproof film: It can prevent the penetration of water, blood, oral fluid, etc., and is often used for treatments with greater water contact (such as teeth cleaning, tooth extraction, etc.).
o Non-waterproof: It is suitable for environments with low water contact, such as simple examinations, diagnosis, etc.
2. Key points for purchasing dental pads
• Material and waterproofness: Choose waterproof or non-waterproof styles according to the specific needs of the clinic. If there is more liquid contact, the waterproof type is more suitable. If it is just a general examination or tooth cleaning, the non-waterproof type may be more economical.
• Layer selection: The three-layer paper film structure of the dental pad can provide better water absorption and protection, suitable for more complex treatments. The two-layer structure is suitable for daily light protection.
• Breathability: Considering comfort, choose products with better breathability to avoid discomfort caused by long-term contact.
• Packaging specifications: Common packaging specifications are 500 pieces per box and 125 pieces per bag. This packaging method is easy to store and use, and is suitable for most dental clinics.
• Sterility requirements: Make sure the dental pad is sterilely packaged to prevent infection.
3. Purpose of dental pads
• Patient clothing protection: protect the patient's clothing to prevent contact with blood, saliva, drugs and other contaminants during treatment.
• Protection during treatment: prevent liquids (such as saliva, blood, etc.) from penetrating into the patient during dental treatment.
• Keep the working environment clean: provide protection for the treatment table to avoid cross contamination.
• Use during surgery or cleaning: during tooth extraction, scaling, root canal treatment and other surgeries, it is used as a protective pad under the patient's mouth to prevent penetrant contamination of the workbench.
4. Standards for judging the quality of dental pads
• Water absorption: A good dental pad should have strong water absorption, be able to effectively absorb liquids, and prevent liquids from penetrating into the patient's clothing or the treatment table.
• Waterproofness: The waterproofness of the outer film is the key. The outer film of a high-quality dental pad should have good waterproof function to prevent any liquid from penetrating.
• Durability: A good quality dental pad will not be easily damaged during use, maintain integrity and avoid contamination.
• Comfort: The surface material should be smooth and soft, not irritating the patient's skin, and try to avoid excessive static electricity.
• Non-toxicity: The product should meet the relevant medical and health standards, be non-toxic, odorless, and non-irritating to the skin and mouth.
5. Procurement channels
• Online procurement platform: You can find regular manufacturers through e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba, JD.com, and Taobao, and choose brands and specifications that meet the requirements.
• Professional suppliers: Contact medical supply wholesalers or suppliers specializing in dental consumables, who usually provide a variety of specifications and customized services.
• International procurement: If imports are required, platforms such as Alibaba International Station and Global Buy and Sell Network can also find international suppliers and choose cost-effective products.
6. Regular size
• Standard size: The standard size of most disposable dental pads is 40cm x 50cm or 45cm x 50cm, which can effectively cover the patient's clothing and treatment table.
• Customized size: Other sizes can also be customized according to the needs of the clinic, such as smaller ones for children's treatment and larger ones for special treatments.
7. Common types
• Three-layer structure (2 papers and 1 film): Provides better protection and water absorption, suitable for treatment environments that require more protection.
• Two-layer structure (1 paper and 1 film): Suitable for daily simple protection and inspection environments.
• Antibacterial type: Some dental pads have antibacterial coatings added to improve disinfection effects.
Summary:
The main factors to consider when choosing dental pads include material, number of layers, waterproofness, comfort and water absorption. Choose the appropriate structure according to treatment needs to ensure the comfort and hygiene of patients and doctors. Purchase through e-commerce platforms, professional suppliers or international procurement channels to ensure that the products meet quality standards and have the necessary sterility requirements.
