- Used for removing moderate to heavy calculus deposits both supragingival and in shallow to moderate periodontal pockets
- Designed for use with compatible ultrasonic generators, such as Hu-Friedy's Symmetry IQ and other S-series units, as well as those from Satelec/Acteon and NSK
Uses
- Initial debridement: The USS10 tip is a good general all-purpose instrument for the initial removal of hard and soft debris
- Heavy deposit removal: Its standard diameter and sturdy design make it suitable for removing moderate to heavy calculus
- Supragingival scaling: It is particularly effective for removing heavy deposits from above the gumline
- Scaling in shallow pockets: The tip is also indicated for removing deposits from shallow to moderate periodontal pockets
- Periodontal maintenance: It can be used as part of a periodontal maintenance program to remove light deposits
Features
- Standard diameter tip: The tip has a standard diameter for efficient scaling
- Stainless steel construction: The tip is made from a special blend of stainless steel designed to optimize vibration for superior scaling efficiency
- Symmetry IQ S-Series compatibility: The USS10 is an S-series tip, making it compatible with Hu-Friedy's Symmetry IQ generators
- Cross-compatibility: The S-series tips can also be used with piezoelectric generators from Satelec/Acteon and NSK
- Ergonomic handling: When purchased as part of a kit, it can come with a color-coded Guardian Wrench for safer handling and sterilization
