Filters may be installed in-line near the point-of-use (e.g. between the waterline and the dental instrument) to block the passage of microorganisms. Filters will have no effect on the development of biofilm in the waterlines, but will remove microorganisms as the water is delivered to the patient.
Bristled definition, one of the short, stiff, coarse hairs of certain animals, especially hogs, used extensively in making brushes. See more.
Natural-bristle brushes made with animal hairs are used for applying oil base paints, varnishes, shellac, polyurethane and other oil base finishes. The natural flagging (splitting or fuzzy tips) of these brushes creates split ends in the bristles that hold more paint and help assure a smooth paint release and finish.
