- A premium 6-pin fiber-optic swivel coupler that serves as an LED-equipped, high-value alternative to European-branded couplers, identical to the VKS6W but features an upgraded LED light source instead of a halogen bulb
Uses
- LED Upgrading:
- Used to instantly upgrade existing KaVo-style fiber-optic handpieces to superior LED lighting without purchasing new handpieces
- Direct Replacement:
- Serves as a more affordable replacement for the KaVo 460LE (001.7599) and 465LRN (553.1550) couplers
- High-Volume Procedures:
- Essential for complex restorative work where precise water irrigation and shadow-free lighting are required for clinical accuracy
Features
- Integrated LED Lighting:
- Provides a brighter, whiter light (similar to daylight) that improves visibility of the surgical site compared to traditional halogen bulbs
- Water Spray Control:
- Includes a built-in adjustment ring that allows the clinician to precisely regulate the water flow to the handpiece
- KaVo Multi-flex™ Compatibility:
- Fully interchangeable with KaVo Multi-flex™ style couplers; all internal components (o-rings, gaskets) are 100% compatible
- 360-Degree Swivel:
- Allows the handpiece to rotate freely, reducing tubing resistance during procedures
- 6-Pin ISO-C Connection:
- Connects to any standard 6-pin fiber-optic dental tubing
Benefits
- Enhanced Visibility:
- The LED bulb produces a more intense light output that lasts up to 10 times longer than halogen, reducing the frequency of bulb replacements
- Superior Ergonomics:
- By eliminating "tubing drag," the swivel action significantly reduces hand and wrist fatigue for the practitioner
- Exceptional Value:
- Offers German-engineered performance at a lower price point
- Workflow Efficiency:
- The quick-connect design facilitates rapid handpiece changes, streamlining the transition between clinical use and sterilization
