W&H Joins OSAP as a New 2024 Super Sponsor

W&H is proud to announce its support of the Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention (OSAP) by becoming a Super Sponsor for 2024.

WINDSOR, ONTARIO, Feb 1, 2024: W&H has been known as the pioneer in sterilization and their goal is to continuously develop state-of-the-art technology and tools that make dental practices’ work safer, more efficient, and more patient-friendly. Their recent sponsorship with OSAP further solidifies their mission and commitment to educate, advocate and communicate to the dental community the importance of proper hygiene and sterilization in their practice workflow for the safety and benefit of their staff and their patients. This sponsorship aligns well with W&H as they have been advocating for years the importance of effective infection prevention with the development of their AIMS workflow microsite.

W&H AIMS Workflow Microsite

Several years ago W&H developed a comprehensive and interactive microsite for Advanced Infection Prevention Management Solutions (AIMS) as a valuable resource for the dental professional community. This workflow offers key steps to successful infection prevention, correct reprocessing and hygiene management. The microsite is continuously updated with the latest findings and key information.
