Dental Office DIY Cleanup TIP

 

In 2013 I visited with Dr John Viviano in Mississauga ON. I noticed an interesting device hanging on the wall that he used for easy cleanup of acrylic material from working with sleep apnea oral appliances. I was really impressed by the simplicity of the device and I asked Dr Viviano to share with us this interesting tip.

SIMPLE TIP FOR A CLEAN WORK AREA

The outcome of brainstorming can be truly amazing; even when it’s unplanned.  We were standing around in my new office that was being preped for treating Sleep Disordered Breathing and I simply stated, “I hate the acrylic that ends up all over my shirt after

adjusting these Sleep appliances”. One of the installers suggested, “you should consider a household central vacuum system that can be purchased at any Home Improvement store”. The handyman on site followed up with “you could build a shelf at the height of your choosing”. Someone else said, “yes, and you could use the toe-kick attachment they use for sweeping into for homes”. I followed up with “I know exactly the guy to build the shelf to my specs (the cabinet maker)”.  See the end product in the picture; it works great! ……Too bad life issues weren’t all so easily resolved. Maybe we don’t brainstorm enough…
