- A dedicated Tip Replacement Wrench (or torque wrench) designed specifically for the Vector Super Sonic Air Scaler system
Uses
- Tip Installation:
- Safely threading and tightening scaling tips into the air scaler
- Tip Removal:
- Loosening and removing worn or different-styled tips for replacement or sterilization
Features
- Torque Control:
- Features a built-in "clutch" or limit mechanism that prevents over-tightening. Once the optimal tension is reached, the wrench "skids" to protect the handpiece threads
- Security Grip:
- Designed to clamp and hold the removed tip, ensuring it doesn't fall or get lost during the transition
- Sterilization Compatibility:
- The wrench is fully autoclavable (up to 135°C), allowing it to be sterilized alongside the scaling tips
- Product Specificity:
- While many dental wrenches are universal, the SS-TRW is specifically marketed and SKU-matched for the Vector Super Sonic 17K line
Benefits
- Protects Equipment:
- By preventing over-tightening, it significantly extends the life of the handpiece's internal threading, avoiding costly repairs
- Operator Safety:
- The wrench acts as a barrier, preventing the sharp scaler tips from accidentally puncturing the operator's hands during installation or removal
- Infection Control:
- Allows for the handling of tips without direct manual contact, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and needle-stick style injuries
- Simplified Workflow:
- Makes tip changes fast and predictable, ensuring the tip is always seated with the exact amount of force required for peak sonic
