IMS System after 20 years of good job: Why is it a good investment?

Dr. Carlo Poggio, an Italian prosthodontist whose 20-year clinic is located in the heart of Milan with a splendid view over Duomo cathedral, ensures a high quality of his dental performances thanks to a multidisciplinary dental approach towards patients with complex dental complications. He decided to implement the IMS solution by Hu-Friedy in early 2000s and still benefits from this system.
 
"At that time the sterilization wasn’t located in the center of the clinic yet, and the assistants wasted a lot of time opening the drawers to look for the right tool for every single procedure" - says Dr. Poggio - "As soon as we implemented the IMS system by Hu-Friedy, the results were immediately tangible: more organization between one procedure and another, more efficiency in the clinic, considerable time saving and improved safety and infection control for both clinicians and patients".
 
In Studio Poggio, one of the most appreciated aspects by the patients is the attention for the cleaning and sterilization procedures, as well as the presentation at the chairside of Hu-Friedy cassettes still packed, sterilized, organized and set-up by procedure.
 
"Nowadays there is more information between patients, and this means that they are more perceptive to topics such as cleaning, sterilization and safety" - says Carlo. "Thanks to the IMS solution, we are able to guarantee a high standard of hygiene and safety for our patients by significantly reducing the risk of cross-infections".
 
The dental assistants in the clinic with different levels of experience, thanks to specific trainings about the importance of infection control and the use of the IMS cassettes, are able to embrace this concept with ease and above all, by using standardized protocols, they are aware of doing their job in a professional manner, guaranteeing the efficiency of Studio Poggio.
