W&H is recognized as a pioneer in sterilization, with a commitment to continuously advancing cutting-edge technology and equipment that enhance safety, efficiency and patient care in dental practices. Their ongoing sponsorship with the Association for Dental Safety (ADS) reinforces their mission to educate, advocate and raise awareness within the dental community about the critical role of proper hygiene and sterilization in practice workflows, ensuring the safety and well-being of both staff and patients.

This sponsorship is a perfect fit for W&H, as it has long championed the importance of effective infection prevention with its innovative and award-winning line of Lexa sterilizers and its newly released Lexa Mini Class B rapid sterilizer to add to a robust sterilizer portfolio. The new Lexa Mini adds a new level of versatility and convenience, providing a wide range of applications as a complimentary device for the sterilization of handpieces or as a back-up for tabletop sterilizers.

Infection prevention educational program

W&H has launched an educational program focused on infection prevention, led by Karen Gregory, RN CDIPC, and Michelle Strange, MSDH, RDH, CDIPC — both renowned experts in infection control and instrument reprocessing and active members of ADS. Gregory is a registered nurse and holds the specialized Certified in Dental Infection Prevention and Control (CDIPC) certification. She has served on the board of directors for the ADS and is a recipient of the James J. Crawford Award, honoring her lifetime achievements in advancing dental infection control.

Strange has a master’s in dental hygiene education and is committed to educating healthcare professionals on infection prevention, holding her Certificate in Dental Infection Prevention and Control. She is a practicing dental hygienist, the owner of Level Up Infection Prevention and MichelleStrangeRDH.

“We are proud to continue our partnership with ADS as a Super Sponsor and to further our efforts in advocating to our dental community the critical topic of infection prevention and proper sterilization,” said Rick Pinero, general manager for W&H’s Dental Equipment Business Unit. “W&H is committed to educating our dental community to safeguard both their practices and their patients and our educational program reinforces this commitment.”
