Air Techniques, Inc., a leading dental equipment manufacturer, announced today that its STS-6 Dual Stage Dry Vacuum System was named an "Editor's Choice" by The Dental Advisor. The highly regarded science-based publication gave the STS-6 system the maximum possible overall rating of 5 stars as well as a 98% clinical rating.
“Our state-of-the-art vacuum systems are designed to allow our valued customers to focus on their patients, and the gratifying reviews from The Dental Advisor confirms that this is indeed the case.”
Founded in 1984 and inspired by Consumer Reports, the mission of The Dental Advisor is to provide the dental profession with evidence-based and clinically relevant information on dental restorative products, infection control products and dental equipment. The STS-6 system was sent to a randomly selected group of 8 Clinical Consultants. Over the course of six months, each Clinical Consultant and his or her staff integrated the product into their daily routine, used the product regularly and then completed a comprehensive survey.
An impressive 75% of The Dental Advisors' Clinical Consultants said the STS-6 system was superior to their current vacuum system, while the other 25% said it was equivalent. Moreover, 88% said they would switch to the STS-6 system and 100% said they would recommend it.
The STS-6 Dual Stage Dry Vacuum System is oil-free and requires zero regular maintenance. Its Super Turbine Suction feature provides highly robust vacuum suction during general examinations and procedures. The STS-6 also features an eight-gallon Cyclonic Action Separator tank to ensure that no liquids or foams enter the vacuum pump. The Dental Advisor Clinical Consultants' feedback indicated that their staffs particularly appreciated the fact that there is no suction trap to clean. The STS-6 has a space-saving design and nickel-plated impeller and housing to reduce oxidation and build-up. It has a high performance two-stage motor and is available in seven different models in either a stacked or side-by-side configuration. All STS units come with a five-year limited, extended warranty.
"We believe that a vacuum system should be the last thing a dental practice should have to worry or even think about," said Riad Abuelafiya, Air Techniques VP sales and marketing. "Our state-of-the-art vacuum systems are designed to allow our valued customers to focus on their patients, and the gratifying reviews from The Dental Advisor confirms that this is indeed the case."
