DENTSPLY Midwest® Introduces Advanced Cleaning with the Midwest® Automate™ system

Years of research culminate in premium handpiece maintenance

Des Plaines, IL (USA)—DENTSPLY Midwest® brings a new player to the automated handpiece maintenance market. The Midwest® Automate™ system provides consistent and reliable handpiece maintenance, including lubrication and expelling to deliver precise amounts of lubricant, accurate expel times, and constant air pressure. The combination of these maintenance operations effectively removes the debris that may be hindering handpiece performance.

According to a recent survey, 2 of 3 dentists state that automated handpiece maintenance systems can help to extend the life of handpiece turbines, and 3 of 5 dentists say the system is essential to their practice1. Automated systems reduce variability and increase efficiency, decreasing hands-on cleaning time by approximately 81% when compared to the cleaning time of manual maintenance.

In addition to automated cleaning, the Midwest® Automate™ system features a comprehensive line of adapters and maintenance couplers for use with a wide variety of handpieces, a handpiece count sensor that allows use with 1, 2, or 3 handpieces at a time, and a dedicated chuck cleaning port for easier insertion and extraction of rotary instruments. An innovative waste containment system helps to minimize mess and maintain a clean work environment, and the steel construction provides durability. The 3-year warranty offers an unparalleled protection plan. When assistance is required, Midwest® Air RepairSM offers prompt, quality support and repairs for your equipment.

The DENTSPLY Midwest® team has extensively researched the needs of dental professionals when it comes to handpiece maintenance—including the benefits of automated cleaning, the shortcomings in the current market, new technologies, and opportunities to improve. The Midwest® Automate™ system delivers efficiency and premium performance for dental professionals and their practices.

The new Midwest® Automate™ automated handpiece maintenance system will be available for order on August 23, 2013.
