Supporting you with every angle of your practice
It’s an obvious thought perhaps, but planning really is vital to ensure you keep to your timescale and budget. And that’s where Henry Schein can help!
With so much to think about, we can offer you guidance on the full service, from concept, design, implementation and after care. We also offer finance schemes and various service plans for added protection. Below are our top 10 tips on cutting edge surgery design.
The top 10 considerations
- Preparation is vital: think about the changes you want to make, remembering to consider what other building works may be required and what contractors you may need.
- Space: having enough space to work in is critical, we can help you choose the right equipment, and where to place it to allow yourself and your assistant plenty of room to move freely around it.
- Patient entry: we’ll take into consideration the entry point to the room and whether the patient can get in and out easily.
- Showcasing your technology: have your lasers or CADCAM equipment out on display.
- Privacy: consider a specific consultation room, especially good for anxious patients.
- Engaging the customer: improve patient understanding by showcasing your CEREC® milling units.
- Waiting room: it’s recommended that people in the waiting room cannot see directly into the treatment room.
- OPG room: locate your OPG in a separate dedicated room - this will need lead lining protection if there are partition walls.
- Multiple surgeries: you may want to think about a central suction system to provide suction to all surgeries with security.
- Decontamination: it’s best practice to have separate clean and dirty rooms, if space allows.
We understand how to get it right
One of the most important considerations is to decide which style of treatment centre you want (over-the-patient, traditional, continental or side/track delivery), as this will affect the space required. Cabinetry is essential for a working practice and we source robust, affordable and aesthetically pleasing products with a range of bespoke options.
If you’re short of space, we can offer suggestions on equipment which can be folded or moved away as well as the ideal location of your intraoral X-ray, suction motor, your PC, worktop equipment such as the VistaScan Mini and location of electrical sockets and sinks.
When planning your decontamination room, we can optimise space to create a distinctive workflow with set down, wash and rinse sink, washer/disinfector, autoclaves, inspection and cooling/packing areas - starting from the dirty area and ending in the clean area.
Cabinetry design
Our cabinet suppliers manufacture custom made cabinetry, hand finished to your own surgery requirement and specification. When you order cabinets from us, you can be sure you are buying the very best in design, technology and style.
Their vast experience means products have a high quality finish with an organised and quick turnaround time for minimal downtime. If you are setting up or refurbishing a new practice, we can supply you with a range of cabinetry and equipment for your surgeries, decontamination rooms, reception areas including a bespoke reception desk design service along with fitted furniture.
CAD Design
We plan your surgery to ensure the design and ergonomics of the room work for you and your patients. Our Design Team will plan out the space as a 2D CAD layout plan and then bring this to life with a 3D visualisation which we can render in your chosen colours and material specifications.
Elevation drawings also aid in ensuring the cabinetry and equipment will comfortably fit, especially in areas where the space is limited.
