Keeping Dental Handpieces “Rite” with RiteWipe

June 23, 2025

Dental handpieces are the workhorses of any practice—but they’re also delicate investment tools that require vigilant maintenance. Enter RiteWipe™ Handpiece Cleaning Wipes, a game-changer in pre‑sterilization care designed to protect your equipment and streamline workflows.

Why Switch from Disinfectant Wipes?

• Most disinfectant wipes (think alcohol-based or peroxide formulas) are designed to kill pathogens, not necessarily preserve device integrity.

• Those harsh chemicals can corrode internal components, potentially shortening handpiece lifespan—up to 70% of handpiece damage stems from corrosion or rust (ritewipe.com).

• The CDC and ADS/OSAP recommend cleaning before sterilization, not additional disinfection. That’s where RiteWipe steps in .
