Straumann Group explains how dental laboratories can help during this difficult COVID-19 crisis.
At this very difficult time, it is inspiring to see the dental profession pull together. As you may have seen online over the past few days, manufacturers are being asked to help accelerate the fabrication of essential equipment, including ventilators. Dental laboratories and digital practices have been among the amazing businesses to respond.
Top tips
For those with our Straumann Cares P series, or any other suitable 3D printer, there might be an opportunity to help print invaluable parts for life-saving equipment needed in your local community. Therefore to help any of our customers who are thinking about joining the effort, here’s some top tips from Tony Cannavan – Straumann Laboratory territory manager in Scotland.
- Visit herokuapp.com to register your ability and willingness to support the supply of ventilator components
- Contact your local hospital to see what parts they need most and then which you could help manufacture
- Join and share the IDDA’s 3D printed ventilator – joint dental and medical COVID-19 initiative group on Facebook.
Thank you to everyone who is supporting our healthcare colleagues during this COVID-19 crisis. If you have any questions about your equipment from the Straumann Group at this time, please just let us know.
