Previously only available to hospitals as an in-duct HVAC product, CASPR Medik™ is now available to dental offices as an HVAC solution as well as a new portable unit called CASPR Compact Medik.
CASPR, which stands for Continuous Air and Surface Pathogen Reduction was originally developed for hospitals, to reduce the risk of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). Given the heightened awareness of the risk to dental professionals from Aerosol Generating Procedures, CASPR chose to make the CASPR Medik products available to dental offices.
At the heart of the CASPR system is its Medik disinfection technology which reacts with the H2O molecules found in the air to continuously create highly effective oxidizing molecules such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
These molecules are delivered at safe levels to reduce clinically relevant pathogens, including viruses. CASPR is safe for use in occupied space and does not interrupt patient care.
“CASPR Medik is a great option for dental offices concerned with reducing air and surface pathogens.” says 2C MedTech CEO, Lea Ellermeier. “The new CASPR Compact Medik is plug and play. it is easy to install and virtually silent.”
According to practicing dentist and CDC consultant Dr. Margaret Scarlett, “When it comes to controlling pathogens associated with dental aerosols, CASPR Medik technology can be a highly-effective first line of defense.”
The main benefits of CASPR Medik technology include the following:
• Up to 99.96% kill rate of bacteria, viruses, and molds on surfaces
• Provides continuous air and surface protection
• Safe for use in occupied spaces like waiting rooms and operatories
• Proven to be highly effective against pathogens, odors, and VOCs
The mobile version of the technology, CASPR Compact Medik, is small, portable, and easy to deploy where needed in dental offices of all sizes. Each unit can cover an area up to 1,500 square feet and has a list price of $1,850. The product is available for pre-order and is expected to ship mid-August. CASPR in-duct units are priced according to the square footage of the area where they are deployed. Both versions of CAPR Medik can be ordered at www.2cmedtech.com.For more details on the science behind the CASPR and how it compares to other infection control technologies, download the free whitepaper “The Role of Air Disinfection in Mitigating the Risks of Aerosol Generating Procedures” by visiting https://2cmedtech.com/caspr/caspr-compact-medik .
