Dental PPE Equipment: Choose the Right Protection
Dental PPE equipment is far more than a set of disposable accessories — it’s the invisible barrier that shields practitioners and patients alike from the profession’s daily risks: projections, aerosols, and biological or chemical exposure. Choosing certified, French-made protection means choosing reliability, comfort, and peace of mind.
Why dedicated PPE for dental clinics?
Every procedure generates aerosols; every instrument, a potential vector of cross-contamination. Within a dental practice, prevention isn’t optional — it’s a daily protocol. From skin irritation to airborne pathogens, risks are part of the job. So, how do you stay protected without compromising comfort or precision?
That’s precisely why Medicom designs and selects PPE by type of protection, ensuring each piece meets the standards and realities of modern dental work. You’ll find certified references, tested to European norms, along with quick guides to help you make informed choices.
Protecting the Face
The face is the frontline of exposure. Each dental act releases microscopic droplets that can settle on the eyes, nose, or mouth — invisible but far from harmless. Without proper face protection, the risk of contamination increases with every patient interaction.
Medical Mask – Kolmi® Vitals
The Kolmi® Vitals is a benchmark medical mask meeting EN 14683 standards. Available with ties or earloops, it offers excellent breathability and bacterial filtration while being eco-designed and made in France. Simple, reliable protection — designed with practitioners in mind.
Respirator Mask – Kolmi® Oxygen
When exposure to aerosols reaches a higher level, standard masks fall short. The Kolmi® Oxygen FFP2 Type IIR, certified EN 149, provides superior filtration against inhaled particles and splash protection. Available in multiple sizes, it ensures a secure, comfortable fit, balancing safety with sustainability thanks to recycled materials (Mass Balance) and French manufacturing.
Protecting the Hands
Hands are the most exposed — constantly in contact with fluids, instruments, and disinfectants. Using the right gloves minimizes biological and chemical risks while maintaining dexterity and tactile precision.
Nitrile Gloves – Coverfeel® Care Long
The Coverfeel® Care Long nitrile gloves feature an extended cuff for enhanced protection during cleaning or sterilization tasks. Certified EN 455, DM Class I, and PPE Category III, they combine elasticity, resistance, and comfort. Proudly made in France, they’re available from size S to XXL.
Protecting the Body
From patient care to sterilization zones, gowns and coveralls are your last defense against splashes and airborne particles. Beyond safety, they help maintain the overall hygiene and professional appearance of your dental workspace.
Gowns & Coveralls – WeePro® Type 5/6
The WeePro® Type 5/6, certified PPE Category III, offers a reliable barrier against aerosols and fine particles. Its microporous material ensures comfort and breathability while maintaining full-body protection — ideal for high-demand environments.
Protecting Feet & Patient Hygiene
In dentistry, every step matters. Floor hygiene and slip prevention are critical to keeping both staff and patients safe. Proper footwear barriers also prevent cross-contamination between sterile and non-sterile zones.
Overshoes – Kolmi® Skidguard
The Kolmi® Skidguard overshoes, made in France, combine anti-slip performance with comfort and sustainability. Produced partly from recycled materials, they ensure safety on smooth or damp floors while supporting eco-responsible practices.
Dental Bibs – PE + Tissue with Pocket
The PE + tissue dental bibs with pocket offer a dual advantage: absorption and impermeability. Designed and made in France, they provide both patient comfort and hygienic protection during treatment — a small detail that makes a big difference.
