Cavitron® Plus and Cavitron JET Plus by DENTSPLY Professional
Ultrasonic units boost performance and comfort.
With ultrasonic instrumentation evolving into a more widely used modality, dental hygienists need instruments that meet their performance and ergonomic needs. The Cavitron Plus and Cavitron JET Plus units with Tap-On™ Technology from DENTSPLY Professional are designed to reduce leg and ankle discomfort associated with continued foot pedal usage. A quick press on the Tap-On Wireless Foot Pedal engages the unit, which remains active until the foot pedal is tapped a second time. As a result, the clinician’s foot remains off the pedal in a neutral, relaxed position during the scaling procedure.
AUTO CONTROLS
The Prophy Mode Auto Cycles on the Cavitron JET Plus unit automatically move between air polishing and rinse, eliminating the need to constantly touch the pedal to change from water spray to the air/water/powder slurry option. Clinicians can select the prophy cycle time they prefer—manual, short, medium, or long. This feature allows dental hygienists to individualize each patient’s treatment based on the level of deposit to be removed.
The finer water control provides more precise adjustment of water flow and spray. Because the water control is located on the base of the handpiece, dental hygienists need not turn away from the patient to make changes. Also, the numbers on the handpiece allow for simple acclimation to clinicians’ preferred settings.
TURBO POWER
An additional turbo power option offers up to 25% more clinical power than normal mode and is activated by pressing a button on the control panel. Hands-free activation of the boost mode is achieved by simply pressing the foot pedal to the floor. Boost mode provides a short power surge, while the new Turbo mode is designed for occasions that require a sustained power increase.
Along with these new enhancements, Cavitron Plus and JET Plus units also include features such as BlueZone for improved patient comfort, an autoclavable handpiece to prevent contamination, and single-push rinse and purge modes.
