The present invention relates to a system (1000) for cleaning and/or disinfecting a tool (600) for dental or surgical use, comprising a steam generator (100) and a compressed air source (200), the cleaning and/or disinfecting system (1000) further comprising a flow regulating device (400) designed to inject wet steam (1) and compressed air (2) into at least one channel of the tool (600) for dental or surgical use that is to be treated.

A dynamic seal for use in a dental handpiece is disclosed. The dynamic seal includes a seal carrier including a first portion having a first feature for receiving a first compliant member and a second portion having a second feature for receiving a second compliant member, and a flange disposed between the first feature and the second feature.

A holding apparatus for holding a sterilizable medical product and for storing the medical product before and/or after the cleaning process, and a product monitoring system featuring such a holding apparatus. The holding apparatus includes a data processing device connectable to at least one sensor in a signal-conducting manner. The sensor is a temperature sensor for determining a temperature during the cleaning process and/or a pressure sensor for determining a static and/or dynamic pressure of a cleaning fluid during the cleaning process. The data processing device processes the sensor signals to form cleaning information and is connectable to a memory apparatus in a data-conducting manner, on which memory apparatus the cleaning information is storable. The cleaning information is retrievable or readable from the memory apparatus by an evaluation device such that a cleaning profile of the medical product can be determined based on the cleaning information.

The oral care products organizer comprises a housing, a tablet holder, a drawer, and a drawer insert. The oral care products organizer is a device for organizing and storing oral care products. As non-limiting examples, the oral care products may comprise one or more toothbrushes, a tube of toothpaste, dentures, and a plurality of denture cleansing tablets. The tablet holder may store the plurality of denture cleansing tablets. The dentures may be stored in the drawer insert within the drawer. The housing may store the one or more toothbrushes and the tablet holder under a cap that protects the one or more toothbrushes from exposure. The drawer may be inserted into a drawer aperture at the bottom of the housing for storage.

A support element (S) for supporting implants (I), such as dental implants, the support element comprising a bar (S1) and a plurality of pins (S5) that are fitted to the bar (S1) and that are arranged parallel to one another, each pin (S5) defining a free end that is provided with reception means (S8) that are suitable for co-operating with the implant (S) so as to hold it on the reception means (S8) of the pin (S5), the bar (S1) including at least one mounting end (S4) for mounting the bar (S1) on another support device, thereby forming a support structure; the support element being characterized in that each pin (S5) is provided with a removal system (S9) for removing the implant (S) from the reception means (S8), without coming into contact with an exposed portion of the implant (S).

The invention relates to a treatment system (I) for cleaning a component contaminated by biofilm, more particularly for cleaning bacterially contaminated surfaces of bone implants or dental implants (30), the treatment system comprising at least two conductor elements (2, 4) connected to an electrical supply unit (10) to form an electrical circuit. One of the conductor elements can be brought into electrical contact with the component in need of treatment. The object of the invention is to provide a treatment system of this type which allows a particularly acceptable and flexible treatment. To this end, according to the invention at least one of the conductor elements (2, 4) is designed as a diamond electrode (26).
