Dental Handpiece Filter Unit
US Patent:
6379150, Apr 30, 2002
Filed:
Sep 26, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/670252
Inventors:
Alan Seltzer - Elmira NY 14901
Mark Friedman - Pine City NY 14871
Mark Friedman - Pine City NY 14871
International Classification:
A61C 110
US Classification:
433 80, 433 82, 433126
Abstract:
The present invention provides a dental handpiece filter unit containing a filter that minimizes the exposure of patients to pathogens found in the dental water supply lines while promoting frequent replacement of DUWL filters by providing a disposable microfiltration filter that is easily replaced at low cost. A disk or membrane type filter is placed in a disconnectable autoclavable filter unit in the handle of an existing design dental instrument such that the form and function of the dental instrument are not adversely affected. The handpiece filter unit, which fits in-line between the dental unit and the water line fitting, includes a waterline connector, a filter-housing unit, and a handpiece connector. Each of these components is connected to each other via plastic tubing. Specifically, the air and exhaust lines run from the waterline connector to the handpiece connector, circumventing the filter unit.

Abstract:
A dental handpiece having a filter unit containing a filter that minimizes the exposure of patients to pathogens found in the dental unit water lines (DUWL) while promoting frequent replacement of DUWL filters, by providing a disposable microfiltration filter that is easily replaced at low cost. A disk or membrane type filter is placed in a disconnectable autoclavable filter unit in the handle of an existing design dental instrument such that the form and function of the dental instrument are not adversely affected. The components of the handpiece, including the filter unit, are autoclavable, making the handpiece with its filter unit both economical to produce and ideal for its intended use.
