Description
This is a versatile, air-powered scaler handpiece designed to connect directly to any standard high-speed handpiece tubing (typically 4-hole or 2-hole). It offers an efficient and portable solution for removing caculus and stain. Unlike ultrasonic scalers that require a separate power unit, this "sonic" scaler runs entirely on air pressure, making it lightweight and easy to move between operatories.

-
Low Heat - Generates less heat than ultrasonic units, though water spray is still used to flush the area and keep the tip cool.

Convenience
-
Plug-and-Play - Connects directly to existing handpiece hoses, eliminating the need for extra counter space or power cords.
