Mark3 Digital X-Ray Sensor Sleeves, Size 1 are used for covering and protecting Size 1 digital intraoral X-ray sensors during radiographic exposures as part of the per-patient infection control protocol for digital sensor management, providing the disposable clear plastic barrier between the sensor and the patient's oral environment that prevents cross-contamination between patients and protects the sensor's surface and cable assembly from the saliva and oral fluid exposure that occurs during intraoral sensor placement throughout the radiographic series. The Size 1 sleeve at 1-3/8-inch width is the smaller of the two standard sensor sleeve sizes in the Mark3 range, providing the appropriately dimensioned sleeve for Size 1 sensors whose narrower width requires a 1-3/8-inch sleeve rather than the wider 1-5/8-inch sleeve used for Size 2 sensors, ensuring a proper fit that neither leaves excessive sleeve material protruding beyond the sensor edges during placement nor applies excessive stretch to the sleeve material that could compromise the sleeve's integrity during the placement procedure.
Size 1 sensors are commonly used for pediatric patient radiographic series, anterior periapical exposures, and bitewing exposures in patients with narrow arch widths or restricted oral opening where the smaller Size 1 sensor provides a more comfortable intraoral fit than the larger Size 2 sensor format, making Size 1 sensor sleeves an essential infection control supply for practices that stock and use Size 1 sensors alongside Size 2 sensors in their daily radiographic protocol across different patient age groups and anatomical requirements.
Practices that perform pediatric dental radiography for child patients find Size 1 sensors and corresponding Size 1 sleeves the standard radiographic setup for pediatric bitewing and periapical series where the smaller sensor dimensions accommodate the smaller intraoral dimensions of pediatric patients more comfortably than the adult-sized Size 2 format.
The leak-proof construction prevents saliva and oral fluids from penetrating the sleeve material during the intraoral placement and radiographic series, maintaining the dry barrier between the patient's oral environment and the sensor surface throughout the appointment. The extra soft, tear-resistant plastic provides the patient comfort of a soft intraoral contact surface during sensor placement while resisting the tearing forces applied during intraoral sensor positioning and repositioning between individual exposures in the radiographic series. The clear plastic allows the X-ray beam to pass through the sleeve material to the sensor surface without image distortion or density artifacts.
Dental hygienists and dental assistants who perform the full intraoral radiographic series on pediatric patients, patients with narrow arches, and patients requiring anterior periapical exposures using Size 1 digital sensors find the Mark3 Size 1 sleeve provides the correctly fitted per-patient infection control barrier for their Size 1 sensor equipment.
Radiographic coordinators who manage sensor sleeve inventory find stocking both Size 1 and Size 2 Mark3 sleeves covers the full range of sensor sizes used in the practice's daily radiographic workflow.
Mark3 Digital X-Ray Sensor Sleeves, Size 1 give dental practices a disposable, clear plastic, leak-proof, extra soft, tear-resistant sensor cover for per-patient infection control during digital intraoral radiographic examinations using Size 1 sensors, providing a transparent barrier that protects the sensor from contamination without introducing image distortion, at 1-3/8-inch x 8-inch for Size 1 sensors, narrower than the 1-5/8-inch Size 2 format, 500 sleeves per box.
