- A 6-pin fiber-optic swivel coupler specifically designed to fit NSK-style handpieces, it serves as a direct, high-value replacement for the NSK PTL-CL-LED coupler
Uses
- Direct Replacement:
- Used as a budget-friendly alternative to the original NSK PTL-CL-LED or for private label brands like Henry Schein, Benco, and Viper
- Handpiece Integration:
- Ideal for adapting high-torque handpieces like the Vector Velocity Extreme (Vx9-SLN) to existing fiber-optic setups
- Workflow Standardization:
- Enables offices to maintain consistent connection types across multiple operatories for faster room turnover
Features
- 6-Pin ISO-C Connection:
- Standardized to connect directly to any 6-pin fiber-optic dental tubing
- NSK Compatibility:
- Precision-machined to fit all NSK-style quick-connect handpieces, including Vector's Velocity SLN and SN versions
- 360-Degree Swivel:
- Features a full 360° rotation that allows the handpiece to move freely, reducing resistance from the delivery tubing
- Integrated Lighting:
- Supports fiber-optic illumination, providing a clear, shadow-free view of the surgical site
- Anti-Retraction Valve:
- Includes a built-in mechanism to prevent the backflow of contaminated water into the dental unit's supply lines
Benefits
- Significant Cost Savings:
- Offers the same performance as premium brands at a lower price point
- Improved Ergonomics:
- The swivel action eliminates "tubing drag," which helps minimize hand and wrist fatigue for the clinician during long procedures
- Durability and Warranty:
- Manufactured with high-quality materials and typically backed by a 6-month limited warranty
- Efficiency:
- The quick-connect design facilitates rapid handpiece attachment and removal for streamlined sterilization cycles
