AQUACUT “QUATTRO”
What is fluid/air abrasion?
The Aquacut Quattro is a unique new patented generation of cutting tool, taking the original concept of air abrasion and with the addition of fluid, creating Aquabrasion, a far more efficient and gentle technology. Besides functioning as a cutting tool, the Aquacut also cleans, polishes and dries.
Advantages of the Aquacut Quattro:
-
Conservative, tooth-friendly dentistry. No chipping or stress fractures,
and minimal removal sound tooth material
-
Quick and versatile – reduced treatment times
-
Multiple quadrants treatable on a single visit
-
A must for modern adhesive dental techniques
-
Ability to cut, polish, clean and dry
-
Incorporates advanced patented technology
POWDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Sealed, self-contained disposable powder cartridges allow quick and measured refills. An inbuilt feed system insures there is zero maintenance in this critical area as the cartridges can simply be removed and replaced. This system also allows for a quick change between powder grades.
Powders are available in 53 micron (red cartridge) and 29 micron (blue cartridge) of Aluminum Oxide for cutting or a Sodium Bicarbonate powder (clear cartridge) for cleaning and polishing.
HANDPIECES
With performance in mind, the ergonomic design allows for comfortable operation in the hand and mouth without sacrificing accuracy or control. The low resistance nozzle and long-life tungsten tip ensures the handpiece is a high performance precision instrument. The Autoclave-safe handpiece is made more versatile with a quick release system and comes in four tip sizes: . I/ASS8190A - BLUE 0.5MM, I/ASS8192A - GOLD 0.8MM, I/ASS8189A - GREEN 0.4MM and I/ASS8191A - SILVER 0.6MM
Air pressure and powder levels are quickly calibrated through a simple-to-use control panel and a powder selection switch allows instant change from cutting to polishing.
The unique foot control enables the operator to choose instantly any function, enabling all procedures to be carried out through a SINGLE handpiece, thus speeding up treatment and reducing fatigue.
