The interaction between caregiver and patient is at the heart of Midmark’s mission. And no patients are more vulnerable and in need of advocates than veterinary patients.
Most pets over age two have some form of periodontal disease, making regular dental care essential to their overall health. However, providing dental care for pets presents unique challenges, including:
– Anesthesia Risks: The mortality rate for pets under anesthesia is 20 times higher than for humans, highlighting the need to streamline workflow and limit anesthesia time for pets.
– Turnover: Staff shortages can result in inexperienced personnel handling procedures and equipment maintenance that impact patient outcomes.
– Equipment Readiness: Mobility and storage are often overlooked in equipment design, yet they are critical for safe usage.
Extensive end-user engagement helped shape the Mobile Dental Delivery System design. The all-in-one system includes essential handpieces and accessories for animal oral healthcare.
Handpieces automatically activate when lifted from the cradle, using one integrated foot pedal to simplify workflow. Optional swivel high-speed handpieces support proper ergonomics to reduce hand and wrist fatigue.
An LED water-level indicator on the front panel alerts users when water is needed. LED high-speed handpieces and scaler come standard to illuminate hard-to-see oral cavities. Onboard storage keeps supplies close, while integrated handles improve maneuverability. The system is made and supported in the USA.
The system’s user-friendly design helps gain care efficiencies. The design is easy for staff of all experience levels to use, optimizing workflow and minimizing patients’ time under anesthesia. Its compact design is smaller than many other models, storing under standard-height countertops and delivering on the space-saving needs of veterinary professionals.
Finally, regular maintenance on dental delivery units can be missed in a busy animal care facility. The Mobile Dental Delivery System supports proper care of the system by including a large, onboard checklist that outlines important handpiece and unit maintenance, a tip wear guide and links to videos that can streamline maintenance and help prevent system downtime.
The Midmark Mobile Dental Delivery System addresses many caregiver challenges while supporting a quality care experience for clients and their pets.
