In both 2011 and 2012, the American DENTAL ADVISOR awarded SciCan’s STATIS ML air-driven high-speed handpiece the Top Air-driven Handpiece! Upon completion of the clinical evaluation in 2011, the STATIS received a 5+ and a 96% clinical rating.

Consultants observed, “...routine procedures, including crown preparation were performed effi ciently without the handpieces slowing or stalling.” “The STATIS ML is the handpiece of choice for crown preparation, as it produces high torque with four-port water spray.” Consultants comments included, “I liked the weight, balance, and small head size,” and “...great all-around handpieces.”


OPTIM 33TB cleaner and disinfectant

Cleaner... Faster... Safer... Responsible....

OPTIM 33TB, from SciCan, is a ready to use surface cleaner and intermediate level disinfectant. OPTIM 33TB is also a 1 minute virucide and bactericide and is formulated with Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP), a globally patented technology and is the disinfectant chemistry of choice in dental operatories around the world.

Not unlike antibiotics, disinfectants are under fire for not being as effective as they used to be and as new strains of organisms arrive regularly, new weapons must be deployed. Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide is a patented synergistic blend of commonly used, safe ingredients that when combined with low levels of hydrogen peroxide dramatically increase its germicidal potency and cleaning performance. The ingredients are all listed on the USA’s EPA Inerts lists and the FDA Generally Regarded as Safe List (GRAS). All chemicals used in the formulation of AHP are commonly found in commercial and industrial cleaners and disinfectants.

The benefits and efficacy of AHP have been validated by third party clinical studies conducted by organizations and third party researchers that are recognized by government regulatory agencies in Canada, the U.S.A. and Europe. Studies show that decision makers tend to focus on four key criteria when selecting a product: cleaning and efficiency, germicidal activity, personal health & safety and the environment. OPTIM 33TB delivers with all of these criteria in mind.

OPTIM 33TB is an EPA Category IV – the safest classification issued to registered disinfectants. It is based on a proven technology without compromise and its active ingredient, 0.5% hydrogen peroxide, breaks down into oxygen and water. The technology is accepted in over 50 countries around the globe and available only through SciCan in the dental market.


Introducing the STATIM G4

SciCan is proud to unveil the newest STATIM family member, the G4 series. The STATIM G4 is the same renowned and trusted autoclave it has been for over 20 years but now boasts a new contemporary look and connectivity that is the first of its kind. The G4 technology will change the way we interact by providing a direct channel of communication through the Internet to you, your dealer, or anyone your desire.

Still powered by SciCan’s signature steam technology to provide sterilization and dryness at speeds faster than conventional chambered autoclaves, the STATIM has been drastically upgraded with a level of interactivity not seen before.

New look
The STATIM has been modernized with a new fascia that is fresh and contemporary. The bubble level has been removed from the decal and been integrated into the virtual LCD screen.

Colour touch screen
A large 3.5” high-resolution touchscreen offers a vivid display of messages and current cycle information all with extraordinary clarity.

Built-in datalogger
Gone are the days of messy thermal paper, clumsy printers or potential failures with external data loggers. With increasing stringency amongst national guidelines, the STATIM G4 now saves all the data from each cycle. This data can be copied onto a USB drive, viewed on screen or from an Internet web browser. If you prefer an external printer, the G4 is still equipped with a rear mounted RS232 connector allowing for external printers or additional data loggers.

Process enforced usage
Patient safety relies on attention to detail. The STATIM G4 supports verifiable processes that are PIN protected with user-defined IDs so that staff members can be required to authorize a cycle. This encourages extra attention to process and creates a safer environment for both staff and patients.

STATIM G4 technology
STATIM meets the Internet – the G4 is equipped with a web interface that enables online access. Notifications can also be distributed to email addresses specified by the end-user notifying cycle completion and other autoclave messages. This will dramatically reduce any down time if the STATIM requires attention.

SciCan’s STATIM G4 Technology offers a platform with endless possibilities. The product expansion and modes of communication will provide visibility from every facet, from usability to troubleshooting.

This is a very exciting time for SciCan, as we are embarking into new territory with cutting edge technology. SciCan has always demonstrated innovation and this is just another example of how we are setting a new standard for the dental industry.
