Description
The Young Hygiene Handpiece in Purple is a specific model of an air-powered, low-speed handpiece manufactured by Young Dental (Young Innovations), designed primarily for dental prophylaxis (cleaning and polishing).
The purple color is simply a distinguishing aesthetic feature for this specialized instrument.
Product Description
This handpiece is engineered with an emphasis on ergonomics to provide maximum comfort and reduce strain for the dental hygienist during prolonged polishing procedures. It is built for smooth, consistent performance and utilizes a separate nosecone and motor design to make sterilization simple and effective.
Intended Use: Used to power disposable prophy angles (cups and brushes) for the removal of plaque and stains from teeth
Ergonomics: Features a unique, contoured Reverse Radius Silhouette and a lightweight design intended to fit the hand comfortably and minimize hand and wrist fatigue.
Connection: Typically connects to a standard 4-hole dental unit tubing.
Sterilization: The handpiece is fully autoclavable, and the nosecone often detaches from the motor for proper cleaning and sterilization
Key Features
Rotation
The nosecone section often provides 360° rotational freedom, allowing the clinician to easily adjust the angle without constantly twisting their wrist.
Cord Drag Reduction
The handpiece design often includes a subtle angle at the hose connector to help relieve cord tension and drag, further aiding in reducing fatigue.
Durability
Constructed with high-quality materials to ensure longevity and resistance to the wear and tear of frequent autoclaving and daily clinical use.
Compatibility
Designed to work optimally with Young Dental's own line of disposable prophy angles, ensuring a secure fit and maximum torque delivery.
