Ultrasonic Insights - Second Edition
Enjoy Smooth Scaling with Swivel™ Ultrasonic Inserts!
Power scaling is a big part of your day. Think about it---If you spend 15 minutes power scaling each of 8 patients you will have your power scaler in your hand for 2 hours per day-- often longer, depending on your patient load. Shouldn’t you have an insert that will provide you with superior efficiency, effectiveness and ergonomics?
Have you tried SWIVEL Inserts?
Have you noticed the “start, stop, reposition” routine required with traditional inserts? With a slight rolling motion of your fingertips the handle and tip of a SWIVEL insert will rotate 360° allowing for smooth and efficient power scaling!
SWIVEL: Giving You Efficient Access to Tooth Surfaces
Tooth surfaces are accessed multiple times during ultrasonic scaling procedures as light, overlapping strokes result thorough debris removal. SWIVEL assists by providing:
- Easy tip adaptation to tooth surfaces
- A greater range of scaling access before needing to readjust your fulcrum o Movement from buccal/lingual to interproximal surfaces without removing tip from the pocket
- Efficiency around intricate tooth surfaces including
- Line angles
- Concavities/convexities
- Furcations
- Increased efficiency around small teeth, such as mandibular anterior teeth, which can require frequent directional changes when scaling
SWIVEL: Ultimate Comfort for You
With your power scaler in your hand for often more than 2 hours per day, attention to ergonomics and comfort for you is vital. SWIVEL gives you:
- A soft, comfortable silicone handle with just the right amount of texture for a secure grip
- Large, wide diameter handle—18% larger than standard inserts*--to reduce finger pinching
- Reduced drag from the handpiece cord
SWIVEL: Superior Control and Maneuverability
For precision, stability and control, hand scalers are held near the working end. With SWIVEL inserts, holding the insert on the colorful grip area, near the shank, allows you to easily rotate the insert and adapt to tooth surfaces, giving the ultimate in control and maneuverability. In fact, just like with a hand scaler, a modified pen grasp can be used with the thumb and index finger on the grip and the middle (second) finger providing control and guidance by resting on the gray or black cone of the SWIVEL insert.
