Barriers for Germ Prevention at Nadeau Orthodontics

Many orthodontic offices employ an open floor plan for routine brace work, but with the ongoing concern about germ transmission, they are adopting barrier solutions between patient chairs. This precautionary measure is designed to safeguard both clients and staff members from potential exposure to infectious aerosols.

Nadeau Orthodontics, located in Kennebunk, Maine, has taken steps to address this concern by installing hanging multi-skin barriers. These barriers are crafted from 16mm ACRYLITE® Alltop, featuring a black hanging bar at the top made of 9mm ACRYLITE® Premium FF 9M001 acrylic. This hanging bar not only supports the barrier but also adds a decorative element to the panel.

Given the necessity for frequent floor cleaning and the limited space between equipment, the orthodontics team determined that hanging barriers were the optimal choice over floor-mounted alternatives. Below, you can view additional images showcasing the successful implementation of this solution."
