KaVo Dental Endorses RiteWipe® as the Standard for Handpiece Cleaning

October 7, 2025
RiteWipe®, the dental industry's leading innovator in pre-sterilization cleaning of dental instruments, is proud to announce the full endorsement of RiteWipe handpiece cleaning wipes by KaVo Dental, the world's market-leading dental handpiece manufacturer. Following extensive testing, KaVo is recommending RiteWipe as the approved standard for handpiece cleaning prior to sterilization to enhance performance and longevity.

A Partnership Anchored in Performance

KaVo has long set the benchmark for handpiece quality, performance, and durability. Proper maintenance is essential to preserving these standards, and KaVo's endorsement of RiteWipe underscores its commitment to giving clinicians the best solutions for instrument care.

Studies show that up to 70% of all handpiece failures are linked to oxidation or rusting, often caused by exposure to alcohol, ammonium chloride, or peroxide-based disinfectants. RiteWipe eliminates this risk by providing a safe, effective cleaning protocol that is free from these harsh chemicals, efficiently removing debris and bioburden prior to sterilization.

Designed for Clinical Confidence 

Developed in alignment with CDC and ADS guidelines, RiteWipe is the first and only regulatory-compliant handpiece cleaning wipe engineered for dental professionals who demand efficacy without compromise. By seamlessly fitting into the instrument processing workflow, RiteWipe helps clinicians significantly extend the life of their handpieces while ensuring consistent patient care.

A New Standard for Handpiece Maintenance

"We are honored that KaVo, the market leader in dental handpieces, is the first manufacturer to recognize and act upon the unresolved issue of chemical incompatibility in handpiece care," said Matt Baker, RiteWipe's President of Sales and Marketing, North America. "This endorsement validates our mission to provide evidence-based, safe, and effective solutions that improve clinical outcomes while protecting the tools dentists rely on most."

With KaVo's endorsement, RiteWipe now becomes the North American and soon to be global standard for handpiece pre-sterilization cleaning, setting a new benchmark for maintenance protocols across dental practices worldwide.
