Hu-Friedy, Chicago, has introduced its Disposable Prophy Angles in both standard straight and contra angle styles, designed to provide a more comfortable polishing experience for both the clinician and patient.
The Disposable Prophy Angles feature a precision-manufactured internal drive mechanism intended to deliver smooth performance with less vibration, heat, and chatter. The proprietary ergonomic grip is designed to increase the clinician’s rotational control and allow for a light, yet secure grasp to improve paste delivery and reduce hand fatigue. According to the company, the premium cup with internal spiral design and smooth exterior provides superior paste delivery and greater interproximal reach while reducing splatter.
Available in soft- and firm-cup options, the Angles are not made with natural rubber latex and are compatible with the most common low-speed handpieces. The contra-angle style features a 15-degree angle bend mid-body, designed for a more comfortable neutral wrist position and ergonomic advantage for the clinician and patient.
