“In order of importance to me was, first and foremost, its safety features – particularly those relating to decontamination and cross-infection control. The auto sterile feature and the fact that all the handles, bits and bobs come off and can go into the autoclave, that for me is the key thing – the number one reason and all the more pertinent now! Number two was the equipment itself – the sheer range of equipment [configuration] options available is impressive.
“The legacy of the brand is also very important to me. I bought my first Castellini chair in 1997 and I have always been one of the first to buy the new, top end chairs from Castellini. As a practice that specialises in treating patients with implants, it was great all those years ago to be able to buy a chair that had an integrated implant motor with torque control – in fact, Castellini was one of the first companies to provide this.”
