ABSTRACT:
An extendable latex shield and internal seals are incorporated in a disposable dental hygiene tool for protecting sterility of standard dental handpieces. The flexible nature of the extendable shield allows storage in a first position, permitting the dental professional to easily attach the tool to the handpiece and to unroll the flexible shield to the extended position, thereby protecting the handpiece from splashing of saliva, blood, or other materials during use of the tool in dental procedures. Internal seals in the tool preclude fluids or other material from transfer through the interior of the tool into the dental handpiece. The combination of the present device precludes the contamination of the handpiece, thereby avoiding sterilization procedures and the inherent time loss, inefficiency, and cost associated with such procedures.
