SAF Medical Ltd
SAF Medical Ltd offers a professional medical service to dentists and doctors who have anxious patients who cannot have treatment without sedation.
There are a variety of reasons behind patients requiring sedation. For example, sedation may be necessary if the patient has dental anxiety, if they are about to have a painful or complex procedure or if they have had a past traumatic experience.
We provide a mobile IV sedation service to put anxious patients at ease during their procedure. Not only will an experienced medical doctor be present during the procedure, but our service should ensure that your clinic list runs smoothly and time-efficiently.
With IV sedation, we can guarantee that patient safety comes first. All patients will get a pre-operative phone call to discuss their medical history and appropriate adjustments can be made to ensure patient satisfaction. During sedation, patient saturations and blood pressure is thoroughly monitored. Pain levels are also monitored and all drugs are carefully titrated to effect. Patients are monitored until they are ready for discharge with a suitable escort.
IV sedation is the solution for any anxious patient who would rather not know about their procedure. Even though it is possible, none of our patients remember anything about their procedure.

What to expect on the day
Conscious sedation is a combination of medicines to help you relax (a sedative) and to block pain (an anesthetic) during a medical or dental procedure.
When you arrive you will be greeted by the sedationist and any questions you have will be answered. Just before the procedure, you will be given some intravenous drugs to help you to relax. You will be closely monitored throughout the whole procedure and post-operative instructions will be explained to your escort while you recover after the procedure.
