Initial Insights
I like the lid design. Wipes that become stuck are easily removed.
They have a nice clean odor, no chemical smell.
Not at all flimsy. They feel thick and sturdy.
These are my favorite wipes! I think the honeycomb pattern helps grab debris.

When choosing a surface disinfectant, it is important to know the active ingredient and contact time. CleanCide Wipes by CTRM Group are formulated with 0.60% citric acid as the active ingredient. Often when one thinks of citric acid, images of oranges and lemons may come to mind. But, as well as being responsible for the sour flavor in citrus fruit, citric acid is also an effective disinfectant.
CleanCide Wipes are germicidal, tuberculocidal, fungicidal, and virucidal. With a three minute kill time, they may be used on hard, non-porous surfaces, including plastic and vinyl! They are food safe, EPA N-List registered, hospital grade, and are available in containers of 160 pre-moistened wipes.
Initial Insights
I like that these wipes are very saturated. I don’t have to use too many when cleaning my operatory.
They don’t have a strong chemical smell like so many other wipes do.
Leave a slight residue.

It goes without saying that some procedures produce a lot of aerosols; we even call them Aerosol Generating Procedures (AGPs). Controlling them can be a challenge. Ho Dental Company designed the AiroPur Aerosol Suction Cup to combat this problem. The cup attaches directly to the HVE valve and is held by the patient in line with their lower lip. It is designed to be disposable but can also be fully autoclaved if desired.
Initial Insights
It’s great that the patient can get a sense of control.
The patient can position it where they want, rather than having it hang on their lip.
I think some patients might like that they can spit in it if they feel the need.
Patients said it was comfortable and easy to hold.
