<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hand tool with a disinfection reactor that is compact and effectively sterilizes pathogenic microbes which can exist in liquid supplies. <P>SOLUTION: The dental hand tool 104 includes a body having a body proximate end, a body distal end, at least one dental utility conduit 108, 110 connected with the body proximate end, and a dental disinfection system connected with the body that disinfects dental fluid at a point of use. The dental disinfection system includes a disinfection reactor 106 connected with the body, a collimated germicidal UV light source end, a disinfection reactor distal end, disinfection reactor walls, a disinfection reactor fluid inlet that receives the dental fluid from a dental fluid (supply) source, a disinfection reactor dental fluid outlet that delivers the dental fluid to the point of use, and a disinfection reactor inner chamber. The collimated germicidal UV light source end directs collimated germicidal UV light toward the disinfection reactor distal end along a collimated germicidal UV light path. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
