- A critical accessory used for the safe installation and maintenance of piezo scaling tips
Uses
- Tip Installation & Removal:
- Used to securely attach S-Series piezo tips to the handpiece and remove them after use
- Sterilization Housing:
- Acts as a protective carrier for the tip during the autoclave process, preventing damage to the delicate working ends
- Safety Handling:
- Allows clinicians to change tips without directly touching the sharp or contaminated working ends, reducing the risk of sharps injuries
Features
- Torque-Limiting Mechanism:
- Patented design that prevents over-tightening of the tip, which could otherwise damage the handpiece or the tip’s threading
- Color-Coded Identification:
- The Black color (USRTW) specifically indicates it is the replacement wrench for the S-Series, helping staff quickly identify the correct tool for their specific piezo generator
- Compatibility:
- Designed for use with Hu-Friedy S-Series tips, which are compatible with Symmetry IQ, Satelec, and NSK generators
- Material:
- Made from high-quality, durable materials that withstand repeated steam sterilization cycles
- Protects Equipment:
- By ensuring the correct amount of torque is applied, it extends the life of both the ultrasonic generator handpiece and the individual scaling tips
- Enhanced Safety:
- The "Guardian" design shields the clinician from the sharp tip during handling, providing a remarkably safe connection process
- Streamlined Workflow:
- The wrench serves as a tip carrier, allowing for organized storage and immediate readiness for the next procedure
- Optimized Performance:
- Ensures the tip is properly seated for optimal vibration transfer, which is necessary for superior scaling efficiency
