- A 4:1 reduction E-type straight nose cone, specifically engineered to reduce the speed of a standard high-torque motor to the lower ranges required for hygiene and delicate finishing procedures
Uses
- Prophylaxis (Hygiene):
- Its most common use is transforming a 20,000 RPM motor into a dedicated prophy motor by reducing the output to a safer 5,000 RPM
- Precision Finishing and Polishing:
- Used for high-speed polishing of newer composites, providing a more lustrous finish than standard prophy-only motors
- Caries Removal:
- Suitable for controlled decay removal where lower speeds and higher tactile feedback are required
- Laboratory & Chairside Adjustments:
- Ideal for extraoral work on acrylics, crowns, and dentures using standard lab burs
Features
- 4:1 Reduction Gearing:
- Automatically converts a 20,000 RPM motor speed down to 5,000 RPM
- Universal E-Type Connection:
- Fits all standard ISO E-Type air motors, electric motors, and surgical systems
- Broad Attachment Compatibility:
- Accepts any standard 3/16" shaft lab bur, "straight handpiece" (HP) bur, or Doriot-style prophy and contra-angle attachments
- Durable Internal Components:
- Features high-quality gears designed for smooth, quiet operation even under the constant load of polishing
Benefits
- Enhanced Control:
- The 4:1 gear reduction provides significantly higher torque at lower speeds, allowing for steadier tactile response during sensitive procedures
- Cost Efficiency:
- Provides a high-performance alternative to expensive name-brand "hygiene only" motors, offering "value without compromise"
- System Versatility:
- Allows a single 20,000 RPM motor to perform both high-speed lab work and low-speed hygiene tasks simply by switching between 1:1 and 4:1 nose cones
- Reliability:
- Backed by a 6-month limited warranty, ensuring long-term utility in busy clinical environments
