- A specialized replacement lever-style back cap designed for Midwest Tradition series high-speed dental handpieces
Uses
- Handpiece Conversion/Repair:
- Specifically used to replace or upgrade the back cap on Midwest Tradition lever-type high-speed handpieces
- Maintenance:
- Restores the functionality of the bur-release mechanism when the original lever cap becomes worn, loose, or fails to hold the bur securely
Features
- Lever-Style Mechanism:
- Unlike push-button models, the MTLBC utilizes a traditional lever that flips open to release or lock the dental bur
- Precision Compatibility:
- Engineered as a direct fit for the Midwest Tradition series, ensuring it matches the internal threading and mechanical requirements of the original turbine
- Durable Build:
- Constructed from high-grade materials to withstand the high-vibration environment of a 400,000+ RPM handpiece
Benefits
- Cost-Effective Restoration:
- Allows dental offices to repair a specific part of a Midwest handpiece for approximately $35.00 - $43.00, rather than replacing the entire unit or expensive turbine
- Simplified Maintenance:
- Enables quick, in-office replacement to minimize "down-time" without needing to send the handpiece away for professional service
- Secure Bur Retention:
- Provides a reliable lock for the bur, which is critical for clinician safety and procedural precision during high-speed cutting
