  Dry Heat Sterilization is one of the 3 methods of destroying bacteria and microorganisms recommended by the Center for Disease Control whose sterilization guidelines we follow.  Unlike other methods, dry heat does not rust or corrode instruments and is for use with metal, glass, and ceramics.  

We always sterilize tweezers and maintain them in a sterile condition before use.  We do NOT re-use probes in any form.  We utilize ONLY pre-sterilized single use probes.

OPTICALS WE UTILIZE:

Electrology can be very labor intensive and many an electrologist has sacrificed his or her back and eyes. See how her neck is bent in the picture--even though her posture is excellent and this is a pretty easy angle and area to work on.  Talk about neck pain!  

We believe in developing good ergonomically correct work-habits from the start.  Instead of bending over old-fashioned magnifier lights, we recommend a more ergonomically correct solution, scopes, or loupes. 

Some people prefer to try cheap magnifying glasses, and they work in the short run but think of how close (generally 4 inches or less from your work area!) you have to be.  Orascopes eliminate this problem giving you 30+inches of work space. 

Some programs might show images of students using loupes while looking through an old-fashioned magnifying lamp.  They claim this increases the magnification the user would have.  Orascoptic has commented on the use of loupes such as these in addition to a magnifying light as being an indicator of someone "who doesn't know what they are doing."  As the manufacturer does not recommend combining these two tools (as it causes optical distortion and does not increase the magnification) and is in the words of a sales representative the combination is "just stupid" we do not use the combination here.
