Our office purchased four Aseptico power consoles and 1:2 increaser drills for use in our oral surgery practice. We had been using the 50K Stryker Command I and II drills for 15 years. Stryker discontinued repair support for our system this year, and consequently we were faced with replacing power consoles and drills for our six surgical suites.
We researched four different systems via internet search and had 2 of the companies bring in loaner units for a one week trial. Aseptico did not have a loaner program, so we purchased one unit with the understanding that it could be returned for a full refund. We subsequently purchased four Aseptico units and have been using them in one of our offices as our only drill for removal of impacted wisdom teeth.
My critique of your system is as follows:
- Cost: Approximately 1/3 initial costs per unit (console/foot switch/irrigation system/drill) as the other system that we researched.
- Handling: The slight angle connection between the drill and motor makes it easier to get the bur at the correct angle to section difficult impactions.
- Irrigation: System works fine
- Footswitch: We will probably switch to the small disc on-off type foot control because when using as a surgical handpiece there is no need for the multiple options on the standard switch.
- Power cord and foot switch cord: I would like them to be 18” to 2 feet longer.
- Adaptability: I am using the unit for preparing implant sites using the Mont Blanc reduction handpiece and also plan to purchase the 1:5 increaser handpiece for use when need to section bridgework.
I think that oral surgery offices facing our situation of a phase out of a system or a new start-up practice would be wise to compare Aseptico to other available systems.
