With the health standards now, they are thrown away after the one use. When I get them home, I just soak the ends in rubbing alcohol or drop the entire pair in boiling water.
Yes, my dentist that I used to work for had them. But their health standards are so strict, he said I couldn't have a pair without him having to detail it with OSHA. You might be able to get a pair though a health supply store.
