About instrument and syringe sleeves
Instrument and syringe sleeves are impervious barriers that cover the handles and unit attachments of air-water syringes and evacuators between patients. The barriers are changed after each use, and the parts they cover include the handles of saliva ejectors and high-speed air evacuators. Some components of dental instruments are permanently attached to the dental unit waterlines and, although they do not enter the mouth, they are likely to become contaminated with oral fluids during treatment. If the item becomes visibly contaminated during use, it is cleaned and disinfected with an EPA-registered intermediate-level hospital disinfectant before use on the next patient.
Clinical contact surfaces are the surfaces in the operatory that are likely to be contaminated by direct spray or spatter during treatment, or by contact with contaminated gloved hands. CDC asks that clinical contact surfaces be barrier protected or cleaned and disinfected between patients, and that barriers be used in particular on surfaces that are difficult to clean. When a surface cannot be cleaned adequately, it should be protected with barriers.
Barriers include clear plastic wrap, bags, sheets, tubing and plastic-backed paper or other materials impervious to moisture. Because such coverings can become contaminated, they are removed and discarded between patients while staff are still gloved; the surface underneath is then examined and only cleaned and disinfected if contamination is evident.
How the types of surface barrier differ
- Digital Sensor & X-Ray Barriers — The radiograph equipment itself, such as the tubehead and control panel, is protected with surface barriers that are changed after each patient.
- Digital sensor barriers — Goes on the sensor, which comes into contact with mucous membranes and is considered a semicritical device.
- Instrument & Syringe Sleeves — Tubing-shaped barriers for the handles and dental unit attachments.
- Air-water syringe sleeves — Sized for the air-water syringe rather than for a handpiece hose or an evacuator handle.
- Chair Covers — Covers the chair and the switches on it.
- Chair & Headrest Covers — A cover for the chair and its headrest, removed and discarded between patients.
- Light Handle Covers — A barrier on the light handles, changed between patients.
- Barrier Film — Clear plastic wrap, the first of the barrier materials CDC lists.
- Tray sleeves — A bag-type barrier, removed and discarded between patients.
- Tray & Surface Wrap — Wrap and sheet material rather than the tubing-shaped barriers.
- Equipment & Device Barriers — Barrier protection reaches equipment as well as surfaces.
What to look at when choosing a surface barrier
FDA clearance: a semicritical item that cannot be reprocessed by heat sterilization or high-level disinfection is, at a minimum, barrier protected with an FDA-cleared barrier to reduce gross contamination during use.
Fit: barriers are aimed at the surfaces that are difficult to clean, and the CDC examples are switches on dental chairs and computer equipment. On a waterline-attached handle the barrier has to be impervious, and it is changed after each use.
What happens after: the surface under the barrier is examined once the barrier is off, and cleaned and disinfected only if contamination is evident.
The alternative: a clinical contact surface that is not barrier-protected is cleaned and disinfected with an EPA-registered hospital disinfectant after each patient, intermediate-level if visibly contaminated with blood.
Disposal: used environmental barriers that covered equipment during treatment are general medical waste and can go out with ordinary waste.
