Dentistry is a busy industry and requires an abundance of tools and materials -- efficiency is key. A well-organized workspace not only improves workflow but also enhances patient care by ensuring that essential materials and instruments are readily accessible. Here are four easy-to-implement ideas to optimize your dental material organization with Zirc’s innovative storage solutions.

1. Utilize Drawer Organizers

Zirc’s Drawer Organizer is an excellent tool for keeping supplies neat and within reach. This organizer includes dividers of various sizes to accommodate different materials, helping you categorize and access them quickly. Additional dividers can be purchased to further customize your setup.

2. Maximize Storage with Tubs & Accessories

Procedure tubs and accessories are a game-changer for maintaining an efficient workspace. These components allow you to create a systemized and customized approach to storing frequently used materials while keeping them protected during storage and transport. You can purchase the tubs and accessories separately, or try a Complete Tub Kit that includes a liner, dividers, cups with covers, a slide tray, and a Safe-Lok® cover.

3. Organize Instruments with B-Lok Trays & Covers

For dental instruments, trays with covers provide an added level of organization and safety. The B-Lok Divided Tray, B-Lok Flat Tray, and Mini Tray offer designated spaces for instruments, preventing clutter. Pairing them with Safe-Lok® tray covers that are leak and puncture proof, ensures that instruments remain sterile and secure.

4. Implement the Color Method

The Color Method is a proven system that categorizes dental materials and instruments by color. This simplifies identification, reduces setup time, and enhances overall efficiency. By implementing a color-coded approach, team members (even non-clinical ones) can quickly locate necessary materials, reducing downtime between procedures.
