Product Overview
Sterisil® 90 or 365 Day Straw – Distilled & Municipal
Continuous dental unit waterline treatment with simple annual or quarterly replacement.
The Sterisil® 90 or 365 Day Straw – Distilled & Municipal provides continuous treatment of dental unit waterlines using proven silver-ion technology. Installed directly into your self-contained water bottle, the straw continuously treats water as it enters your dental delivery system, helping maintain clean dental unit waterlines without the need for daily tablets.
Available in both 90-day and 365-day models for distilled or municipal water supplies, Sterisil Straws include a built-in initial shock treatment and are EPA-registered to maintain dental unit water at ≤10 CFU/ml, significantly below current CDC recommendations. The straw contains no oxidizers, making it compatible with handpieces and amalgam separators when used as directed.
Whether you're simplifying your dental waterline maintenance program or replacing an existing straw, North Star Dental Services can help you select the correct model for your office's water source.

Technician's Note
Dental waterline maintenance is one of those tasks that's easy to overlook until there's a problem. Products like the Sterisil Straw simplify that process by providing continuous treatment instead of relying on staff to remember daily tablets.
The most important step is selecting the correct straw for your water source. If you're unsure whether your office uses distilled or municipal water—or what your total dissolved solids (TDS) level is—we're happy to help you choose the right model before you order.
