- An advanced dental control unit designed to power fiberoptic handpieces, uniquely engineered to handle both traditional halogen and modern LED lighting systems through a single control box
Uses
- Universal Handpiece Support:
- Powers and controls the lighting for fiberoptic dental handpieces, regardless of brand or coupler style
- LED & Halogen Integration:
- Serves as a versatile interface for dental chairs that use a mix of older halogen and newer LED-based handpiece systems
- Independent Dual-Tubing Control:
- Can simultaneously and independently power up to two fiberoptic tubings from a single control unit
Features
- Variable Voltage & Amperage:
- Allows technicians to precisely adjust power output (2.5V to 3.5V for halogen or specific mA for LED) to match manufacturer recommendations
- Adjustable Time Delay:
- Features a customizable delay that keeps the fiberoptic light on for a few seconds after the foot pedal is released, allowing for post-procedure oral inspection without an active bur
- ISO-C 6-Pin Compatibility:
- Connects seamlessly to any standard ISO-C 6-pin fiberoptic swivel or coupling
- Flexible Tubing:
- The system typically includes ultra-soft, flexible silicon-sheathed tubing designed to reduce hand fatigue during long procedures
Benefits
- Future-Proofing:
- Enables dentists to switch between different coupler brands (like KaVo, NSK, or Star) or upgrade to LED without replacing the entire control system
- Cost Efficiency:
- Eliminates the need for multiple brand-specific power supplies and is generally priced 30-50% lower than proprietary manufacturer systems
- Enhanced Safety:
- The time-delay feature provides better visibility for clearing the oral cavity after a procedure while ensuring the handpiece remains stationary
- Durability:
- Comes with professional-grade components, often backed by separate warranties for the control box (6 months) and the tubing (1 year)
