- The replacement power cartridge for the Vector Super Sonic Air Scaler system, which is the core internal component responsible for generating the 17,000 Hz high-frequency vibration used during dental scaling
Uses
- Restoring Performance:
- Specifically used to replace a worn or damaged internal engine when the handpiece experiences a drop in power or frequency
- Routine Maintenance:
- Installed as part of periodic servicing to maintain the "Cavitron-like" power level required for heavy calculus removal
Features
- Quick Repair System:
- Engineered for "chairside" replacement, meaning it can be installed in the dental office without sending the handpiece to a repair center
- High-Frequency Engine:
- Capable of generating 17,000 Hz, making it significantly more powerful than standard air scaler cartridges
- Compatibility:
- Designed to fit both the SS17K-M (4-line) and SS17K-K (KaVo swivel) models
Benefits
- Minimal Downtime:
- Because it is user-replaceable, practitioners can fix a failing handpiece in minutes using a Flat Wrench (SS-FW) instead of waiting weeks for professional repair
- Cost-Effectiveness:
- Replacing only the internal cartridge is much cheaper than purchasing a new $700+ handpiece unit
- Consistent Power:
- Provides 3x the power of traditional air scalers, ensuring efficient treatment for patients while remaining safe for those with pacemaker
