CHICAGO, Illinois--Hu-Friedy, a leader in the manufacturing of dental instruments, has announced the addition of the 25K Swivel XT Ultrasonic Insert line.The line featues a thinner, stronger insert that can reach and remove debris from interproximal and subgingival areas. The Swivel XT was originally introduced in December 2010, in a 30K version.Traditionally, thin inserts are recommended for light deposit removal; however, subgingival deposits are often difficult to remove. Hu-Friedy’s Swivel XT is thin enough to clean subgingivally and interproximally, but also robust enough to efficiently and effectively remove moderate to calculus at lower power settings. The Swivel XT features a large-diameter grip that helps maximize clinician comfort and helps enhance tactile sensitivity. In addition, the instrument’s durability is enhanced through a proprietary blend of stainless steel.Hand Essentials provides holiday stocking stufferIn a survey of clinicians who tried the Swivel XT, 91% rated it as excellent/good for the removal of moderate deposits, and 73% rated it excellent/ good for the removal of deposits. Also, 94% rated it excellent/good in terms of patient comfort, and 77% preferred the Swivel XT to competitive offerings.Ron Saslow, CEO of Hu-Friedy, said: “We are excited to now offer the Swivel XT insert in two options, so both our 25k and 30k magnetostrictive device users can benefit from this innovation. It is important that clinicians have access to instrumentation that facilitates their ability to deliver optimal patient care, and the Swivel XT is the latest in a long line of innovations that we are proud to bring to the dental professional.” For more information, call (800) HU-FRIEDY or visit www.hu-friedy.com.To comment on this product, go to community.pennwelldentalgroup.com/.References available from company upon request.
