Description

i-Barrier is a single use, touch sensitive disposable tablet sleeve by Crosstex.

Packaging

The i-Barrier comes with 100 disposable sleeves in a cardboard box with instructions for use.

Clinical Indication

For the use in covering any tablet such as an iPAD to prevent contamination after contact with any infectious materials.

 

Why do we need it?

We all know that OSHA states “all equipment and environmental and working surfaces shall be cleaned and decontaminated after contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials. The use of disinfectants on some dental surfaces and equipment in the dental practice, which can damage surfaces. The i-Barrier is recommended instead of using a surface disinfectant that could cause potential Damage to the iPAD or Tablet.

The i-Barrier for Operatory Use

  1. Insert the iPAD or Tablet into the sleeve, with adhesive strip facing back of tablet.
  2. Remove the Adhesive
  3. Fold over and close the i-barrier for a seal-tight fit
  4. Remember the i-barrier has given the IPAD room for the operator to swipe the tablet to maneuver the applications

Keypoint

The cover of the i-Barrier is smooth to not take away the detail of the IPAD presentation. Make sure the patient has a good hold of the IPAD not to drop it on the floor. 3 sizes will be available to allow the IPAD cover to be completely cover if needed. Eash cover can be removed and discarded after every patient. If taking a photo of the patient, your digital camera or intraoral camera is recommended while using the i-barrier.Skyline 0310 Pre Launch: i Barrier by Crosstex

    Treat your dental suppliers professionally

    Who are your top suppliers? Who are you writing a significant check to each month? Take a look at your credit card statement and business checking account and make a list of your top 10 dental vendors. One of the principles of the national Baldrige award (http://www.nist.gov/baldrige/) is to develop a long term win-win relationship with your “key suppliers/partners and collaborators”. They ask questions such as: What role do these suppliers play in delivering your services to patients? How do [...]

    Great book for parenting: NurtureShock

    Although I normally write about dentistry and business management, I just finished a great book that shares unique insights into children – and for every dentist, hygienist, assistant and office manager raising children – I hope this is helpful. The authors, Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman, are journalists who realized that over the last 10 years there had been some revolutionary scientific research on children that might affect the way people parent. However, this great research was shared in 5 [...]

    Are you leaving money on the table? Submit your full fee to dental insurance

    Dentists agree – dental insurance is a necessary evil. Necessary to help fill schedules since we’re all trained (thanks to health insurance) that we must follow our insurance plan. Evil because it almost physically hurts to write off 15% – 40% of our fees. We all know that we’re taking a huge hit thanks to dental insurance, but are we also leaving money on the table that’s our own fault? Depending upon your set up for submitting claims to dental [...]

Influenced by his Catholic father who assembled headlights for Chrysler, he went on to teach in a Catholic school and later created a company that provided job training for displaced workers – particularly those from the manufacturing sector. He came to see his [...]

    How the Dentrix appointment history paints an accurate picture

    Here is an actual email I received a few weeks ago from a long term patient: My husband had an appt on 2/7. He’s been away on business since 1/4 and when we realized that he would not be back until after 2/7, I called and rescheduled his appt. I called on Jan 25. I had joined him on his trip the day before. It was rescheduled for March 6 at 8:30 am. I do not know who I talked [...]

    Dental politics: Do you know the scoop?

    Every year our state dental association hosts a “Day at the Statehouse” where dentists are invited to spend a day learning the top legislative issues in dentistry – and then to share these topics with their state senator and representative. The dental association staff provides written materials to the dentists that clearly explain the 2-3 hot topics for that year. These talking points guide the individual meeting between the dentist and his/her legislators. When a dentist registers for this Statehouse [...]
