Orthofan becomes a heart-safe laboratory: new AED defibrillator installed
The quality of a laboratory is not measured solely by the devices it produces, but also by the care it shows towards the people who spend time there every day.
That is why Orthofan has chosen to take a further concrete step towards safeguarding health and safety by installing an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) within its premises, thereby officially becoming a heart-safe laboratory, for the benefit of the team, the professionals who work with us, the course participants and all the visitors who come to our premises every day.
An orthodontic laboratory that is increasingly focused on safety
In the field of custom-made medical devices, precision, reliability and responsibility are core values.
At Orthofan, we believe that these principles must also extend to people’s safety.
The installation of the new AED defibrillator is a concrete step that reinforces our commitment to prevention and health protection within the workplace and educational environment.
The device has been positioned in a strategic location within the facility, ensuring it is easily accessible both in the operational heart of the orthodontic laboratory and in the areas dedicated to professional training.
What is an AED and why is it important?
An AED, which stands for Automated External Defibrillator, is a device designed to provide rapid assistance in the event of sudden cardiac arrest.
Thanks to a system of guided voice prompts, the defibrillator is able to assist with emergency procedures in a simple and intuitive way, enabling a prompt response at the most critical moments.
The speed of response can make a crucial difference: for this reason, having a facility equipped with defibrillators is now an increasingly important feature within companies, healthcare facilities, training centres and professional organisations that prioritise workplace safety.
Innovation also means protecting people
In our work, we often talk about innovation, quality and excellence.
But innovation also means creating safer, more informed and better-prepared environments.
The decision to install an AED stems precisely from this vision: putting people first, by promoting a culture of prevention and responsibility that forms an integral part of the company’s identity.
For Orthofan, safety is not a mere detail, but a core value that underpins every aspect of our daily work, from the design of medical devices to the training of tomorrow’s professionals.
