- A high-speed, non-optic dental handpiece from the F-Series, widely considered the "rugged workhorse" of the Vector line, designed to provide the power and feel of a premium German handpiece at a significantly lower price point
Uses
- Heavy Duty Restorations:
- Specifically designed for procedures requiring high torque, such as removing old crowns or extensive cavity prep
- High-Volume Environments:
- Built to withstand the rigorous sterilization cycles and heavy use found in large group practices, government clinics, and corporate dental offices
- Midwest/KaVo Upgrades:
- Ideal for dentists looking to upgrade from standard "canister" style handpieces (like Midwest Tradition™ or Quiet-air) to a more durable, high-performance tool
Features
- Torque (Large) Head:
- Provides maximum cutting power and efficiency for tough materials
- 4-Hole Fixed Backend:
- Unlike the "SK" models that use swivels, the standard F5 features a fixed connection that attaches directly to a standard 4-hole dental tubing
- Single-Port Water Spray:
- Ensures the bur and tooth are cooled during high-speed operation
- Push-Button Autochuck:
- Allows for fast, tool-free bur changes
- Non-Optic:
- Does not include fiber-optic lighting, making it a more economical choice for general-purpose use
- German-Made Quality:
- Manufactured in Germany with a rugged chromium finish for long-lasting durability
Benefits
- Exceptional Value:
- Offers performance comparable to high-end European brands for under $400, a price point Vector has maintained for over a decade
- Improved Comfort:
- Designed to produce less noise and vibration than standard "house brand" high-speeds, reducing both clinician fatigue and patient anxiety
- Seamless Transition:
- Features a traditional grip and feel, making it easy for dentists to switch from other major brands without a learning curve
- Reliability:
- Includes a 1-year warranty on the handpiece and a 6-month warranty on the turbine
