- A 5-hole fiber-optic swivel coupler designed to provide a high-performance, cost-effective connection for KaVo-style handpieces, a direct replacement for the KaVo 1390 Coupler (553.1390)
Uses
- Direct Replacement:
- Serves as a budget-friendly alternative to the KaVo 1390 (553.1390) coupler for offices already using 5-hole fiber-optic lines
- Handpiece Integration:
- Used to adapt any KaVo-style handpiece—such as Vector's F-Series or Velocity Vx-Series—to a 5-hole delivery system
- Practice Standardization:
- Ideal for clinics looking to maintain consistent performance across multiple operatories without the premium price of name-brand hardware
Features
- 5-Hole Fiber-Optic Connection:
- Specifically designed to connect to any standard 5-hole fiber-optic dental tubing
- KaVo Multi-flex™ Compatibility:
- Fully interchangeable with KaVo Multi-flex™ style couplers; all internal components, including o-rings, bulbs, and gaskets, are 100% compatible
- 360-Degree Swivel:
- Features full 360-degree rotation to improve handpiece maneuverability and minimize tension from the delivery tubing
- German-Made Quality:
- Manufactured in Germany using high-quality materials and tested to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards
- Integrated Lighting:
- Includes a light source (typically halogen) to provide illumination to the surgical site
Benefits
- Significant Cost Savings:
- Offers the same performance as top-tier German brands at a much lower price point
- Improved Ergonomics:
- The swivel action helps eliminate "tubing drag," which reduces hand and wrist fatigue for the dentist during long procedures
- Seamless Maintenance:
- Because it is 100% interchangeable with KaVo parts, offices can use their existing stock of KaVo gaskets and bulbs for repairs
- Reliability:
- Backed by a 6-month limited warranty and built to withstand rigorous clinical environments
