Painless in Seconds Enquiry No. 11/05
QuickSleeper by Dental Hi Tec is designed to perform
transcortical anesthesia as first-line treatment in the best
possible conditions.
It is ideal for alll types of anesthesia, including mandibular
molars, incisor-canine blocks, single or multiple extractions,
implantology work, etc. This work could be performed with just
one single injection point, with no numbness of the lip, no lag
time, no lingual or palatial injection, even for a single extraction
and with 2 to 6 teeth anesthetized depending on the the
quantity injected.
The ‘pen grip’ handpiece of QuickSleeper is ergonomic in
design where all the anesthesia are performed using support
points for maximum precision.
QuickSleeper features four programmed
injection speeds and there is also a ‘Low’
mode for sensitive cases, like anesthesia
of the frenum or with children.
For difficult injections, the exclusive
‘PAR’ system (Permanent Analysis of
Resistance) automatically adapts the
power of the motor according to
resistance to the injection. It ensures a
regular injection, whatever the density of the tissue infiltrated,
and eliminates cartridge breakages.
Reliable Precision - Every Time Enquiry No. 12/05
A putty version of Flexitime ® A-silicone precision impression
material is now also available from Heraeus that is suitable for
automatic mixing with the new Dynamix ® Machine. The
kneadable, high viscosity impression material now comes in the
new Dynamix ® Cartridge on the market under the name of
Flexitime ® Dynamix ® Putty.
Flexitime Dynamix Putty is effortlessly mixed at the press of a
button in the Dynamix automatic mixing unit for impression
materials. The homogeneous, void-free mixture ensures
reliable, reproducible precision and accuracy of fit.
Rapid mixing and precise dispensing also save
time as well as material and ensure a consistent
quality and technique.
It can be easily moulded in the same way as a manually mixed
putty, as it has a low sticky consistency. Automatic mixing also
makes the problem of sulphur on the hands of the operator a
thing of the past.
The real putty consistency of Flexitime Dynamix Putty has a
high compressive strength — an advantage for controlled
intraoral insertion. The impression can be removed easily from
the mouth without causing the patient any discomfort. The
material is easily cut for the putty-/wash impression.
As the pre-filled Dynamix Cartridge is ready-to-use, the material
can be applied easily and quickly. A dynamic mixer, the
Dynamix Mixing Tip, and a fixation ring ensure that the base
and catalyst pastes are mixed to the same homogeneous
quality. This guarantees thorough mixing and stability with all
consistencies. The cartridge is made of an eco-friendly, singlecomponent
material; it is recyclable and marked with a green
point to signify suitability for the dual-disposal system. It
replaces the previous Magnum 360 foil bag.
