- A specific spray nozzle adapter designed for use with KaVo-style dental handpieces and couplers, facilitating proper lubrication and maintenance by ensuring the Vector Premium Synthetic Lubricant reaches the handpiece's internal turbine parts correctly
Uses
- KaVo Equipment Maintenance:
- Specifically for lubricating high-speed and low-speed dental handpieces that utilize a KaVo-type swivel or coupler connection
- Lubricant Application Interface:
- Acts as the necessary link between the universal Vector lubricant spray can (VL-S) and the specific internal ports of KaVo-compatible equipment
Features
- Brand-Specific Compatibility:
- Unlike universal adapters, the VL-AK features a precision K-style fitting to match the exact connection points of KaVo and KaVo-compatible handpieces
- Reduces Over-Spray:
- The specific fit prevents the "messy over-spray" associated with non-specific adapters, leading to a cleaner and more efficient process
- Durable Design:
- Built for the repetitive use required in a busy dental office environment
- System Integration:
- The adapter can be used with the standard Vector VL-S spray cans, as well as other major brands' spray nozzles if needed
Benefits
- Extends Handpiece Life:
- Ensures proper, deep penetration of the all-synthetic lubricant into the critical turbine bearings, which is vital for preventing premature bearing failure
- Increases Office Efficiency:
- Takes the "guesswork" out of manual lubrication, making the maintenance routine faster, more accurate, and easier for dental staff
- Eliminates Re-Lubrication Needs:
- When used with Vector's synthetic lubricant, the oil does not break down in the heat of the sterilizer, meaning there is no need to re-lube after the sterilization cycle
- Maintains Performance:
- Prevents the buildup of sticky residues (common with cheaper mineral oils) that can reduce handpiece power and performance over time
